I saw this on television and had to try it this weekend. DH loves it. So simple and tastes like it was way harder than it was. I did use the lower fat Neufchatel cheese instead of full fat cream cheese. Superb!

This recipe is from Nigella Lawson - not known for her healthy repertoire!

(sorry for formatting errors, the copy/paste didn't work correctly)

• 10 oz graham crackers
• 5 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
• 1 x 13 oz jar nutella (at room temperature)
• ¾ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
• 1 lb cream cheese (at room temperature)
• ½ cup confectioners' sugar (sifted)

1. Break the crackers into the bowl of a processor, add the butter and a 1 tablespoon of Nutella, and blitz until it starts to clump. Add 3 tablespoons of the hazelnuts and continue to pulse until you have a damp, sandy mixture.
2. Tip into a 23cm/9inch round springform and press into the base either using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill.
3. Beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth and then add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until combined.
4. Take the springform out of the fridge and carefully smooth the Nutella mixture over the base. Scatter the remaining chopped hazelnuts on top to cover and place the tin in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight. Serve straight from the fridge for best results.
