Crust:

60g (2 oz) Cracker crumbs*
20g (1/4 cup) Hazelnut bits
30g (2 tbsp.) Butter, melted

15g (1 tbsp) Nutella

*You can use graham cracker crumbs or any cookie crumbs of your choice. We used Digestive biscuit crumbs

Cheesecake:

114g (4 oz.) Cream cheese, softened

16g (2 tbsp.) Icing Sugar

70g (1/4 cup) Nutella

50g (3 ½ tsp) Heavy Cream

2.5ml (1/2 tsp.) Vanilla extract

Method

1. Combine crust ingredients and press it into the mold

2. Refrigerate until ready to fill with cheesecake mixture

3. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed

4. Add sugar, Nutella and vanilla extract and beat until fluffy

5. Add in heavy cream and beat in until just incorporate

6. Pipe cheesecake filling evenly into the mold over the crust

7. Smooth out the top as well as you can

8. Refrigerate until filling is totally set, it takes about 2-4 hr for this size 

9. Combine glaze ingredients and melt it gently (in a bain-marie or microwave) and let it cool a little before glazing to avoid melting the bottom

10. Pour glaze over set cake and spread it around evenly

11. Wiggle the cake a little to smooth out the glaze

12. The glaze should thicken up a bit when it hits the cool surface of the cake, add the white chocolate decorations and let it adhere to the surface

13. Cover it with foil and refrigerate for 30min - 1 hr

14. Serve it to your Dad as whole and the whole family can dig in with a spoon :)
