Happy Friday my friends I am so looking forward to the weekend for so many reasons. First one, and the most obvious one are these Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Bars that are the perfect way to end a long week. Now, reason number two is that on Sunday its my grandmother’s birthday and also Christian Orthodox Easter and that means I have two more reasons to make these Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Bars that are unbelievably good.
Want another reason? Well, tomorrow my one week vacation starts! I can’t wait to get on a plane on Sunday morning and fly to Mexico for our annual family vacation. This is such a nice tradition and I am looking forward to it the whole year, since our parents live in Eastern Europe to have them with us for this vacation is such a nice thing. Looking forward to creating many beautiful memories and to celebrate my birthday on Monday.

I also served my Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Bars with a cup of hot coffee. The bars turned out amazing and I got raved reviews form family and friends. The curst has a subtle honey flavor, the cheesecake filling is creamy and chocolaty. They are also incredibly easy to make and such a delight to eat.

- Graham Crust:
- 20 full-sheet honey graham crackers (or 3 cups graham cracker crumbs)
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 32 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hazelnut chocolate spread, room temperature
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Line a 12x9 baking pan with parchment paper enough to overhang on the sides, spray with baking spray. Set aside.
- Graham Crust:
- Using a food processor, pulverize the graham crackers into a fine crumb. Pour into a medium bowl and mix with melted butter and sugar. Press well into the lined pan and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool as you work on the filling.
- Cheesecake Filling:
- In the bowl on an electric mixer, or using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3 full minutes. Make sure to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Slowly, pour the filling over the crust. Drop large spoonfuls of hazelnut chocolate spread on top of the filling and using a knife, gently swirl it.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake has settled and the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30-40 minutes at room temperature on a wire rack and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Lift the bars by the parchment paper out of the pan and using a sharp knife cut into squares. Clean the knife with cold water to remove any crumbs and continue cutting.
- Store bars in a covered container for up to 5 - 6 days in the refrigerator.
