Ingredients (for 10 servings):
For the Crust:
130 g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
50 g unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
450 g cream cheese, at room temperature
130 g powdered sugar (sifted)
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream (cold, 35% fat)
5 g unflavored gelatin powder (enough to set 420 ml of liquid)
1 tbsp water
For the Flavorings:
½ cup Nutella (150 g)
½ cup dulce de leche (150 g)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Crush the Biscuits: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix with Butter: In a bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Form the Crust: Press the mixture into the bottom of an 18 cm springform pan (or similar). Ensure it’s packed evenly and firmly. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and airy.
Add Sugar & Vanilla: Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Whip the Cream: Add the cold heavy cream and beat until it thickens slightly, but don’t over-whip to avoid separating the cream.
Hydrate the Gelatin: In a small bowl, add the gelatin powder and water. Let it hydrate for about 5 minutes. Then, heat it in the microwave in 15-second intervals until fully dissolved, stirring between intervals.
Incorporate Gelatin: Add 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture into the dissolved gelatin, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, fold the gelatin mixture back into the full cheesecake mixture. Make sure everything is well combined.
Flavoring the Cheesecake:
Divide the Mixture: Split the cheesecake mixture into 3 bowls.
In one bowl, add the Nutella and mix well.
In the second bowl, add the dulce de leche and mix well.
Leave the third bowl plain.
(Tip: Warm up the Nutella and dulce de leche slightly in the microwave to make them easier to mix.)
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Layer the Cheesecake: Remove the crust from the fridge. Randomly spoon the 3 different cheesecake mixtures onto the crust, alternating between plain, Nutella, and dulce de leche mixtures.
Create Swirls: Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the three mixtures together to create a marbled effect.
Chill: Place the cheesecake in the fridge and chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly.
Serve:
Unmold & Serve: The next day, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!
Notes:
Gelatin: Make sure to follow the instructions on your gelatin package for proper setting.
Storage: Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Enjoy your delicious Nutella and Dulce de Leche Cheesecake!
