Hazelnut Cheesecake

Ingredients

1 — 1-1/2 oz. package ice cream cake cones
3/4 cup Nutella
1 — 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 — 8 oz. carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 — 2-1/2 package chopped hazelnuts, toasted

Directions

~Place ice cream cones in a large resealable bag; crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl.

~In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the hazelnut spread on high for 30 seconds (or until it achieves spreading consistency). Add 1/2 cup spread to the crushed cones. Using a metal spatula, press mixture into a greased 9-in. square pan.

~In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in whipped topping just until combined. Spread two-thirds of cream cheese mixture over the crust.

~Stir the remaining hazelnut spread into the remaining cream cheese mixture. Spread over cream cheese layer; sprinkle with nuts.

~Refrigerate overnight.

~Makes 9 servings.
