Quite often I get the urge to have something sweet and tasty with my cup of coffee, but usually right then and there I’m way too busy to start baking. This is just the perfect cake to make ahead – all you need to do is cut it in slices and freeze in individual portions. That way you will always have a piece of cake ready. Such a piece of cake, right?
Ingredients
- 1 pkt (250g) Nice biscuits
- 1/3 cup (80g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
- 1 small jar (400g) Nutella
- 500g cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (80g) icing sugar, sifted
Instructions:
Line a 23cm round springform pan with baking paper and set aside.
Place the biscuits into a food processo rand pulse a few times to make a rough crumb. Add the butter, 1/3 cup of the toasted hazelnuts and 1 tbsp of Nutella. Process until well combined.
Press crumb evenly onto the pan and flatten using the base of a glass. Let cool in the fridge while making the topping.
Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining Nutella and icing sugar until well combined. Pour over chilled base and smooth top. Sprinkle remaining toasted hazelnuts over the top and chill for 3-4 hours. Serve straight from the fridge.
Quick Tip: Use your favorite cookies instead of the biscuits mentioned in the ingredients!
