Nutella Cheesecake

This is the famous Nigella’s Nutella Cheesecake. If you are a fan of nutella, which many people love, then you need to try out this recipe, because Nigella is right, nutella really does make a regular cheesecake so much better. Yummy!

This Nutella Cheesecake is another dessert recipe contributed by my friend CP Choong. It’s very easy to make, and sometimes, you have to indulge and forget about dieting, calories, fat, and just dig in and enjoy a slice or two, or three slices of this decadent cheesecake. I am a true believe of “eat first think later.” Food, especially desserts are meant to be made, enticed, and then consumed by human beings, so forget about your waistline, just dig in and enjoy.

What I love most about this Nutella Cheesecake is the chopped toasted hazelnuts which give each bite a nice crunch and texture. Another big plus: there is no egg in the recipe, so there is no need to bake. Just beat the cream cheese and sugar, and chill everything in the fridge for a few hours and you have this sinfully delicious cheesecake. Sweet!

No-Bake Fruit and Nut Bars with Nutella

I used to love granola bars as a kid. Especially the ones with chocolate chips or a chocolate coating on them, but somewhere along the life’s journey, the love affair ended.

Then, about a year ago, we were on the road and we had stopped in an REI to pick up some supplies. Needing  a quick pick-me-up, I grudgingly sorted through their health/power/energy/granola/random-good-for-you-so-you-can-go-all-day-but-tastes-like-crap bars.

I looked for something at least somewhat appealing.  After all, it had been years since I’d given anything in the granola bar classification a chance. Finally I settled on  a fruit and nut bar. Couldn’t be that bad, right? It looked about as appealing as a bar could through cellophane packaging. 

Damn! That bar was good. Maybe it was just the low blood sugar talking, but bars were back on the menu for me. Ever since then, I’ve been searching and experimenting  with recipes which get my mojo goin’.

A couple days ago Diane found a recipe for a no-bake fruit and nut bar in Sunset magazine. I was intrigued. I had yet to find the bar I had been searching for so I gave this one a shot.

Reading through the recipe, mentally tasting the ingredients, I was pretty sure this one would be good. Simple, quick, lots of nuts and dried fruit. A little hit of chocolate. I didn’t have a couple of the ingredients and it was too nice of a day to waste it running to the store, so I subbed in nutella for the almond butter and honey for the brown rice syrup.

End result was excellent. Better than I had even expected. We’ve been loving recipes with dried apricots in them lately and the apricots were the perfect compliment to the roasted almonds and dried sour cherries. The puffed brown rice was just enough to add texture and not get in the way of the almonds and dried fruit. And the nutella and chocolate are always winners for us. The recipe was a winner. Loved it. Hope you like them as much as we did.
