I would not recommend tweaking this recipe as insomniac chef did. No nutella flavor. Poor cheesecake texture. Tough crust.

Turned out great! I might not add so much sugar next time tho, was a bit too sweet. Good with home made graham cracker crust! =)

I made this mostly as directed--I left out the sugar completely--as well as with the reviewer's suggestions of adding an egg and baking. I only made a small portion of the original recipe, putting the mixture in two mini graham cracker crust pans and then adding the egg in and making a full pie of the rest. The recipe as directed IS more of a mousse--it still firms up after refrigeration, and is very rich, but by adding an egg and baking, you get a much more cheesecake like texture and a firmer, richer taste. I'm glad I left out the sugar, and glad I tried it both ways. Bf was more partial to the adjusted recipe, although he gobbled up the original as well. Either way, I thought the graham cracker crust was a good call, and it definitely does not need extra sugar. It's sweet enough as is. It's a bit rich for me, but it has a nice, chocolately taste. It doesn't really taste as much like a nutella cheesecake to me as a more chocolatey cheesecake. Thanks for the recipe!

Yum! I used 20 ounces of Philidelphia cream cheese, kept everything else the same. Chilled for 6 hours prior to serving. It was delish! Very creamy but firm.

This was a great dessert! If you follow the directions exactly, I would consider this more of a pie than a cheesecake. A lot of others are adding an egg and baking to make it more like a cheesecake. I was wanting more of a pie so I chose to make the recipe exactly as stated. I do prefer my pies with a regular pie crust so thats the only thing I changed. I did beat the filling well to add more air into it to help make it smooth and lighter. It was delicious and nice and rich with the nutella! It was perfect with a large dollop of whipped cream on top to help with how rich it is. So good! About two days later in the fridge it really gets even better! Thanks for this great recipe! I will for sure make again when Im wanting a nice rich chocolate-y pie other than the ordinary!

Follow suggestions in the reviews to omit sugar, add an egg, and bake 30 min. I also added some Hazelnut Liqueur syrup which added some extra flavor without the excessive sweetness.

Added this to the Thanksgiving dessert mix to rave reviews. I prefer a baked cheesecake so I followed the suggestions of other reviewers - adding a egg, reducing the sugar to 2 T, chocolate crust instead of a graham cracker crust, and baking in a 350 oven. Easy and well received! I'll do this one again.

So good and so easy to make! I used 1/4 sugar as suggested. I just kept adding nutella until it tasted delicious. I did not bake it. It was delicious. I put whipped cream for decoration like in the picture but I would suggest skipping that because the whipped cream got runny by the time people started eating it. At first no one was breaking into it because of that but as soon as one person tried it and said how good it was, everyone started eating it and finished it off.
