- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate hazelnut spread and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add Hazelnuts: Fold in chopped toasted hazelnuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, let it sit overnight.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings and additional hazelnuts if desired. Slice and enjoy!
