Nutella Cheesecake

Oh, it's summer holidays! I'm writing this in advance and now I put in the date of publication and realised this would be my first holiday recipe. 

It deserves something special then. So, this is gonna be a little price-y but I can assure you everyone will leave the table with a blissful smile on their faces. It's just heavenly good.

And if you put some extra effort into chopping your strawberries, it will look awesome. No one will say anything bad about it. There is nothing dull about it. It's just wonderful. And since it's summer, this cake is perfect. It's from the fridge. You only need to bake the crust and that's it. I must say I was afraid of the gelatine part since my experiments with it didn't always end up successful in the past but here it worked out and I'm glad.

You'll need:

• 900g cream cheese (or combo of your favourite kinds of cheese you usually use for baking)
• 230g sour cream
• 305g sweet condensed milk
• 380g nutella
• 14g gelatine + 60 ml water
• 1 table spoon vanilla extract

• 150g cocoa biscuits
• 80g butter

•  strawberries (as many as you want)

1) Let's make the bottom crust first. Make crumbs from those biscuits and pour melter butter over them so that everything is moist and you can press it to the bottom of your pan easily. Bake at 180°C for about 10 minutes. Then let cool down.

2) Mix all from the filling part with the exception of gelatine and water. When it's incorporated well, put the gelatin in the water, stir. Then put it in the microwave for about a minute (it will get foamy). Stir again till the foam goes down. Repeat the process once more. Then it's ready to be incorporated into the cheese mixture.

3) You can chop some strawberries that will go inside.

4) Cover the sides of your baking pan with baking paper or some kind of foil - it will be easier to get the cake out later. Pour in some of the mixture so that the bottom is covered. Then put in the strawberries (you can press some slices to the sides of the pan, it will look fancy) and then pour in the rest of the cake mixture. 

5) Leave in the fridge overnight.
