Ingredients
Cheesecake
- 2/3 cup Nutella
- 8 oz Nuefchatel cheese
- 16 oz Cool Whip prepared topping, divided
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 oz Frangelico, optional
- 12 Oreo cookies
Garnish
- hazelnuts, toasted
- Chocolate chips or Candy melts for garnish
- Cheesecake
Method
Cheesecake
-
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Spoon crumbs into the bottom of rocks or martini glass. Even out the crumbs and lightly press into the glass.
-
In a mixing bowl combine Nutella, Neufchatel cheese, 8 ounces of whipped topping, and Frangelico. Whisk into a smooth creamy consistency and pipe into glasses on top of cookie layer.
-
Whisk together 8 ounces of whipped topping with the powdered sugar (adding powdered sugar helps to keep the topping stiff). Pipe the whipped topping on to the Nutella layer.
Garnish
-
Place your marble tile in the freezer for at least one hour.
-
Temper the chocolate in the microwave and transfer into a small piping bag. Pipe the chocolate directly onto the frozen stone. The chocolate will set up almost immediately. Using a pastry knife, metal spatula, or I use a putty knife that I reserve just for chocolates, transfer the designs onto wax paper and allow them to completely set up.
-
Complete the dessert with the candy design and some toasted hazelnuts. While the chocolate designs are easy to make you could also use a curl of chocolate, sprinkles, or a Ferro Wafer Roll.
Cooks Notes
I use a square of granite that I freeze for about 4 hours. Mine was a scrap from my counter tops, but you can get a square of marble or granite for very little at a tile store or Home improvement center. It come come it quite handy.
I like to use Wilton's Candy Melts for my decorations. They are very easy to work with.
