Individual Nutella Cheesecakes

I am a big fan of Nutella. Especially when it is mixed with cream cheese. I am almost certain there isn't anything better.

We stayed in for Valentine's Day this year (and last) and my husband actually brought home chicken wings...pretty romantic, right? While I was a little surprised at his decision to bring wings for V-day, it actually was quite tasty and sums up us pretty well!
I told him I would make us some dessert if he would be in charge of dinner.
I wanted something easy and quick.
I turned to Pinterest of course to help me out!

Here is what you'll need:

For the Crust
-12 Oreo Cookies, crushed into crumbs
-3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling
-1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-2/3 cup Nutella
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed

For the Garnish
-whipped topping, optional
-mini chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between your individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer.

2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add vanilla and mix to combine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping until well blended and no streaks remain.

3. Evenly pipe or spoon the filling into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

4. Add your toppings of choice.

How good do those look?

We will be having round 2 tonight :)
