Assembly Steps:

Step 1: In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter to create the crust mixture.

Step 2: Press the crust mixture into the base of a springform pan to form an even layer. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add Nutella, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.

Step 5: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Step 6: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Step 7: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.

Step 9: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.

Step 10: Drizzle additional Nutella over the top and garnish with chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings.
