I don’t know about you, but cheesecake is my all-time favorite dessert. I also love chocolate (I mean, who doesn’t?) and hazelnuts. So I thought put them together for a Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake.
Making it no bake makes is super easy. You’re welcome.
I cut two slices in order to take photos. After, I was finished, I gave Gary a bite (I got a “hey, that’s pretty good sweetie”) and then put it away (it was only 10 a.m. --- we do need natural light for photographing -- a little too early to eat dessert). Just a note about the photographs ... photographing chocolate is very difficult and I’m still learning ... but I assure you that this cheesecake tastes so much better than it looks in my photos.
We ate it for dessert last night. Gary said, “This is a 10 (he’s always rating my recipes). This is a definitely a keeper. I think you should make this twice a week. Next time, you make it, don’t change the recipe (I’m always changing things up every time I make a dish and he doesn’t like that).”
Twice a week? What is he thinking? If I made this cheesecake twice a week, I would definitely have to up-level the number of miles I walk each day (currently I walk 5 miles a day).
The recipe is very simple. The trick is to let the cream cheese and ricotta cheese come to room temperature (I know it is hard ... I get so impatient) so that they will blend better.
I let the cheese cake set in the refrigerator overnight. If you don’t want to make it that far in advance, I would recommend letting it set for at least 4 hours. When it is time to serve, it slices better right out of the refrigerator.
