Want to make something creamy and chocolaty this Valentine’s Day for the Love of your life? Try Chocolate hazelnut cheesecake, a chocolate cheesecake with an Oreo crust and just a hint of hazelnut.
Add the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla to a large mixer bowl.
Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
INGREDIENTS
- 18 OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into pieces, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup hazelnut-flavored liqueur
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS:
HEAT oven to 325°F.
MIX cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 min.
BEAT cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until well blended.
ADD melted chocolate and liqueur; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.

RECIPE NOTE
I baked this cheesecake for an hour and 15 minutes because it seemed too jiggly and I was concerned it would not firm up. I even checked to be sure my oven temp was correct (it was). In the end, the cheesecake was just right so I suggest that you check to see how it bakes in your oven. The photo above was taken when the cheesecake was still slightly warm (yeah, I couldn’t wait) and it was light and creamy. After refrigeration, the texture was slightly firmer.

I ((love)) cheesecake! This looks delicious!
Oh my goodness…I can always rely on you Americans to come up with wonderful Valentine recipes!
With your outstanding photography; you could make the mud and gunk I scrape off my shoes after stomping through the woods look good enough to eat. I tell you, this looks outstanding and can tell it is rich and creamy; like soft ice cream.
I use to work part time for a friend in her bakery after trying to get back on my feet from a broken leg. She made only cheesecakes and I fell in love with them. I thinks its the only think I could never get enough of.
Try eating a slice frozen, it will blow you away.
Hope you have a blessed week.
