Deconstructed Nutella Cheesecake

This is an interesting one. I cheated. I do that a lot if you've noticed *Grins smugly*
So, generally when you make a cheesecake, there is always a giant fuss about slicing it, and my heart always races when i put my knife to work, always scared of massacring it. So, this time when my mom requested cheesecake for a dinner party i decided to save myself the trouble and make them in individual glasses. And guess what? Put anything in a glass and call it deconstructed, mortals think its the fanciest dessert ever! So here's a recipe you can use to make last minute fancy desserts that impress!




Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 250 ml Whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar 
  • Oreos
  • 1 cup crushed digestive biscuits
  • 1.5 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Cocoa powder 

Method:
  1. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, whipping cream and icing sugar using an electrical whisk (Whisking by hand will also do) 
  2. Add the Nutella and vanilla essence and mix thoroughly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed biscuits, a pinch of cocoa powder and the melted butter, until the butter is evenly distributed.
  4. Now get your fancy glasses out and using an appropriately sized spoon, make a crushed biscuit mixture base and smoothen it out using the back of the spoon.
  5. Then carefully pipe the Nutella mixture onto the biscuit base and put the glasses in the fridge for atleast 2 hours, or until the cheesecake sets.
  6. Once they are set, sprinkle very little cocoa powder on top, to make it look pretty and maybe add an oreo like i did. (Then you can be fancy and ask your eaters to use it as a spoon and eat a little bit of oreo with each bite!)
