Crumbl Review: Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake ft. Nutella
This is one of those cookies that immediately leans into full dessert territory. Between cheesecake and Nutella, you’re already dealing with two rich elements, so the expectation here is that it’s going to be indulgent — the real question is whether it balances or just becomes too heavy.
The base of the cookie acts like that classic graham-style crust you’d expect from a cheesecake. It’s soft but slightly structured, giving it just enough stability without being dry or crumbly. It doesn’t stand out on its own, which is exactly what you want because the topping is doing most of the work.
The cheesecake layer is smooth, creamy, and slightly tangy. That tang is important because it cuts through the richness of the Nutella and keeps the whole cookie from feeling overly sweet. Without it, this would easily lean too heavy.
The Nutella is what defines the flavour. It brings that chocolate-hazelnut richness that’s instantly recognizable, and it sits right on top of the cheesecake layer. It’s smooth, slightly thick, and adds that extra depth that makes the cookie feel more layered.
What works well here is how those two elements interact. The cheesecake lightens the Nutella just enough, and the Nutella gives the cheesecake more flavour so it doesn’t feel plain. Neither one completely takes over.
Texture-wise, this cookie is all about smoothness. You’ve got the soft base paired with the creamy topping, and everything blends together into one cohesive bite.
This is definitely one of the heavier cookies of the week. It’s rich, filling, and something you don’t need a lot of to fully enjoy.
Final Verdict:
A rich, layered dessert cookie that balances Nutella and cheesecake well. Heavy, but done properly.
