No Bake Nutella Cheesecake

I found the recipe here! It was crazy crazy easy, but I had to modify it a little and will definitely change a little bit more the next time around.

I made it according to the recipe this time around (with a store bought crust, shhh). It was amazing and crazy crazy good, but so rich. Here's the awful and crappy photo skills of my phone's camera.

Here's the less rich recipe I'll be trying next time:
1 package of cream cheese
1/2 cup of Nutella (instead of 2/3)
1 package of cool whip
Oreo pie crust

1. Blend the cream cheese and Nutella together. I strongly suggest using a hand mixer. We had to microwave and melt them quite a few times to get it the right consistency.
2. Once completely blended, add the entire container of Cool Whip.
3. Spread evenly into pie crust.
4. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Ways to improve:
Adding chocolate chips or crushed oreos to the recipe
Not adding Cool Whip on top (takes away the Nutella flavor)
Adding chocolate shavings or hazelnuts
Drizzle chocolate syrup on top

Take it away bloggers! Can you think of any other ways it can be improved? I'd love to hear opinions and suggestions for my next go round!
