Ingredients

Crust

Filling

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Nutella® hazelnut spread with cocoa
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

  • 1 bag (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips (2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Chopped toasted hazelnuts, miniature white or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate candy sprinkles, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix Crust ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. Press dough in bottom of pan. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl frequently. Beat in hazelnut spread. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating until just blended. Beat in 2 tablespoons cream and the vanilla. Spread evenly over cooled crust.
  • 4
    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until set. Cool 30 minutes on cooling rack. In 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and 1/2 cup whipping cream over low heat, stirring frequently, until chips are completely melted and smooth. Carefully pour and spread topping over filling. Sprinkle immediately with nuts, chips or candy sprinkles. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until cooled completely. Cut into 8 rows by 3 rows.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Be sure to soften cream cheese to room temperature; if cold, filling will be lumpy.
  • tip 2
    To get clean cuts when cutting cheesecake bars, dip knife into hot water, and wipe blade with a towel after each cut.
  • tip 3
    Hazelnut skins can be challenging to remove. Toast nuts at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once or twice. Pour nuts into a clean kitchen towel, and gather tightly in a bundle. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes; rub vigorously with towel to remove skins.
