  • Completely No Bake: From the crust to the filling. Everything is set in the fridge or freezer. No oven required.
  • No Cool Whip: Unlike other recipes, this Nutella cheesecake uses REAL whipped cream instead of frozen whipped topping for the filling.
  • Oreo Crust: I’ll show you how to make a super easy 2-ingredient Oreo crust. However, you could use a store-bought Oreo crust to save time and dishes if you’d like.

The flavor of this no bake Nutella cheesecake actually reminds me of The Edward’s Hershey’s Créme Pie which is one of my favorite cheater desserts for my lazy sweet tooth days. This dessert is great from the fridge or the freezer. Plus, it’s very few ingredients and could not be any easier!

Ingredients You’ll Need

*NOTE: Full ingredient amounts and instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Labeled ingredients needed for No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Pie.
  • Oreos – For the crust. Use the original, NOT double stuf, Oreos. Use the whole cookie, cream filling and all.
  • Unsalted Butter – To bind the Oreo cookie crust.
  • Nutella – Chocolate hazelnut spread to flavor the filling.
  • Cream Cheese – Whole fat. Brick style. Not from the tub.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream – To whip for the filling.
  • Powdered Sugar – To sweeten the whipped cream.
  • Chocolate Shavings – Optional for garnish. Easy to make with a chocolate bar and vegetable peeler.

How to Make the Oreo Crust

Steps to make Oreo pie crust.
  • 1. Place the Oreo cookies (filling and all) inside of a food processor.
  • 2. Pulse or run the machine until cookies resemble fine crumbs.
  • 3. Empty crumbs into a 9-inch pie dish. Add the melted butter.
  • 4. Mix the crumbs and butter together, then press evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Chill the Oreo crust in the freezer while making the filling.

How to Make the No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Filling

Steps to make no bake Nutella cheesecake filling.
  • 5. In a large bowl, beat together the Nutella and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • 6. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form using an electric stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Set aside one-third of the whipped cream (about 1 cup) for topping the pie with. Cover and place it in the refrigerator.
  • 7. Add the remaining two-thirds of whipped cream (about 2 cups) to the Nutella cream cheese mixture. Use the electric hand mixer to beat the two mixtures together. Mixture should be very thick.
  • 8. Spread the Nutella cheesecake filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust.

DECORATIVE TIP: I like to use an offset spatula and a cake turntable to swirl the top — holding the tip of my offset spatula in the middle and moving it towards the edge of the pie dish while spinning it with the turntable.

Chill and Serve

  • CHILL: Lightly cover the no bake Nutella cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to overnight. The longer it’s chilled, the better the whipped texture gets.
  • GARNISH: Top with the leftover whipped cream and chocolate shavings. NOTE: I piped the whipped cream with a Wilton 2D tip and used a vegetable peeler to make chocolate shavings from a chocolate candy bar.
  • CUT: Run a knife under hot water and dry it off with a towel before making each cut. This recipe will serve 8-12 people, depending on the size of the slice.

Storing and Freezing

  • TO STORE: Cover and store cheesecake in fridge for up to 5 days.
  • TO FREEZE: Don’t add toppings. Cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap, then a layer of foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw cheesecake in the refrigerator overnight or slice and serve it from frozen, if desired. Allow frozen cheesecake to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before slicing from frozen.
