• 1/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
• 1/4 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

4. Stir in chocolate hazelnut spread and salt until evenly combined.
5. Pour mixture into the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until filling is set.
6. While cheesecake is baking, whip heavy cream, 2 tbsp sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
7. Once the cheesecake is out of the oven, let it cool to room temperature, then spread the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake.
8. Chill the cheesecake for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
9. Serve and enjoy!
