My daughter loves Nutella and I love cheesecake, so it was going to be inevitable that this cheesecake would come about. To say it went down well with my daughter might have been an understatement! Although she did have to share it with other dinner guests that night, so I know it's going to have to be a regular request at our house. Are you a Nutella and cheesecake lover too?
Recipe inspired from Nigella Lawson and tweaked to be made in the Thermomix.
