1) In a food processor, add all the ingredients for the
crust and whiz it up until everything is finely crushed and when you pinch the
mixture together, it holds well.
2) Press the mixture in the bottom and one inch up the sides of a 9” springform pan, set it in the fridge.
3) In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and nutella and mix it on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
4) Add the remaining ingredients and keep mixing it for another minute or so or until you have a smooth batter.
5) Pour the batter into the prepared crust, cover the top of the pan with a plate and set it in the fridge overnight.
6) About an hour before you are ready to serve it, make the ganache.
7) In a small saucepan, add the cream and bring it to a simmer.
8) Pour the cream in a bowl with the chocolate chips and let it sit for about 3 minutes.
9) Whisk it all together until the chocolate chips have melted, and whisk in the butter as well.
10) Place it back in the fridge for about an hour to set a bit.

Wipe your knife in between cutting each slice so that all
the slices come out nice and neat.

NEXT TIME for ME!!!
It would be just as good with Deana's Cheesecake crust, that way I wouldn't have to buy expensive hazelnuts.
We didn't wait the hour after putting on the ganache, and I like the drip effect it had on the cake. I prefer this cake 'warm' sitting out on the counter for a bit.
