Ingredients You Need
Oreo Crumblies
- 16 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Nutella Cheesecake
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Nutella
- 1/4 cup chocolate fudge topping (optional for extra chocolate flavor)
- 2 cups whipping cream (total, divided for mousse and topping)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla or almond extract
Fresh Banana or Strawberry Whipped Cream
- 2 ripe bananas OR 16–20 strawberries (reserve a few for garnish)
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- Optional: toasted hazelnuts, chopped
How to Make Nutella Cheesecake Mousse
Oreo Base
- Combine the crushed Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed. Divide the crumb mixture among 4–6 small serving bowls or jars, pressing lightly to form a base.
Nutella Mousse Cheesecake
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Nutella and vanilla (or almond) extract, mixing until well blended and silky.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of the whipping cream to medium–stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and lightened.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse over the Oreo bases, dividing it evenly between the serving dishes.
- Slice 4–6 strawberries or one banana and arrange the slices in a circle on top of the mousse (the fruit will be partly covered by the whipped topping).
- Chill the assembled bowls in the refrigerator while you prepare the fruit whipped cream.
Fresh Fruit Whipped Cream
- Whip the remaining 1 cup of whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla (or almond) extract until stiff peaks form.
- Puree the reserved strawberries or banana in a blender until smooth, then gently fold the puree into the whipped cream until evenly colored and flavored.
- Pipe or spoon the fruit-infused whipped cream onto the Nutella mousse, finishing each serving with a fresh fruit slice and, if desired, a sprinkle of chopped toasted hazelnuts.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the layers set and flavors meld.
Tips, Variations and Serving Suggestions
- Make these ahead: assemble and chill up to 24 hours in advance. Add the fruit topping just before serving for the freshest look.
- Swap the Oreo crumbs for chocolate graham crackers or chocolate cookie crumbs if you prefer a different base.
- Try other fruits: raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries can be pureed into the whipped cream for a tangy contrast.
- For a crunch finish, sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts or extra cookie crumbs on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve these in small jars, ramekins, or mini trifle bowls for an elegant individual dessert presentation.
These no-bake mini cheesecakes are a perfect after-dinner treat and would shine at holidays, brunches, or celebrations like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or birthdays. They’re indulgent without being fussy — an effortless way to make any occasion feel special.
