Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz cream cheese with 1/2 cup Nutella, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then mix with 1 cup crushed graham crackers until evenly moistened; press this mixture into the bottoms of 6 small serving cups to form a crust.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the Nutella cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula; refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  4. Step 4: For the ganache, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 2-3 minutes; remove from heat and pour over 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
  5. Step 5: Let stand for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy; spoon the ganache over the chilled cheesecake cups evenly.
  6. Step 6: Chill the assembled cups for an additional 30 minutes before serving to allow the ganache to set.
