For an even richer hazelnut flavor, toast the hazelnuts lightly before chopping. Room temperature ingredients are essential for a smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling. Do not over-mix the cheesecake batter after adding the egg, as this can lead to a tough texture. Be careful not to over-bake the bars. A slight jiggle in the center indicates they are done. Chilling the bars completely is crucial for easy slicing and the best flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a 9x9-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepCombine OREO crumbs, chopped hazelnuts, brown sugar, and pinch of salt in a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Add in melted butter and pulse until mixture is evenly moistened. Pour mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepBake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow crust to cool for 10 minutes. Keep the oven on. (Bake time: 10 minutes, Cool time: 10 minutes)
04
StepBeat cream cheese, white sugar, vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until completely smooth and combined. Add in heavy cream and lemon juice and beat until smooth and combined. Add in egg and mix until just incorporated. Pour batter over crust and spread into an even layer. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
05
StepPlace Nutella in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until slightly warmed, about 30 seconds. Place dollops of warm Nutella randomly over cheesecake filling. Use a sharp knife to gently swirl the batters together, taking care not to go too deep and cut the crust. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to help the batter to settle again. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepBake bars in the preheated oven until edges of bars begin to turn golden, and bars still have a slight jiggle in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow bars to cool to room temperature; then refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 4 hours. Cut into 16 bars. (Bake time: 35-40 minutes, Chill time: 4+ hours)
