Microwave Cheesecake Recipe / No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake with Nutella
This small Nutella cheesecake has an Oreo crumb base and a cream-cheese, sour-cream and chocolate-hazelnut filling. It cooks in short microwave bursts, then needs a long freezer rest before unmoulding.Dietary note: Contains dairy. This recipe is not vegan.
Ingredients
- 5 (50 g) Oreo Cookies
- 1 tbsp (14 g) Unsalted Butter
- 5 tbsp (70 g) Cream Cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Nutella (or any Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
- Melted chocolate optional, for decorating
Instructions
- Remove the Oreo filling and crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Melt the butter in the microwave at 1200 W for 15–20 seconds, then mix with the crumbs.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom of a microwave-safe 9 cm (3.5 inch) ramekin. A microwave-safe paper cupcake liner can make unmoulding easier.
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Mix in the sour cream or Greek yogurt, then the Nutella, until combined.
- Spoon the filling over the crust and spread evenly. Microwave at 700 W for four separate 30-second intervals. Open the door and let the cake settle for a few seconds between intervals; do not cook continuously for 2 minutes.
- Freeze for 12 hours or overnight, as specified in the video. Unmould and drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.

Notes
The video specifies 2 minutes of cheesecake cooking in separate bursts, plus butter melting, followed by 12 hours or overnight in the freezer. This is not a ready-to-eat two-minute dessert. The preparation field retains the existing estimate; the video confirms the specific cooking or resting stages described above.
