¾ cup powdered sugar

Step-by-Step Method to Make Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Crush digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor.
Mix the crumbs with melted butter and optional crushed Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes so the base sets.
Tip: A firm base ensures the cheesecake slices neatly.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla extract, Nutella, and finely chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to make the filling light and airy.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
Take the chilled base out of the fridge.
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the base and spread evenly.
Optionally, add a few halved Ferrero Rocher chocolates in between for extra surprise layers.
Add the remaining cheesecake filling and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Chill the Cheesecake
Cover the cheesecake with cling film and refrigerate for 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.
Chilling ensures the cheesecake sets perfectly and slices cleanly.
Step 5: Decorate the Cheesecake
Arrange halved Ferrero Rocher chocolates on top.
Drizzle melted Nutella over the cheesecake for a glossy, rich finish.
Optional: Sprinkle chocolate shavings or a little cocoa powder for a more luxurious look.
