Nigella Lawson has long been the queen of indulgent, unfussy baking – and her chocolate cheesecake is no different. Made with just a handful of ingredients and zero baking, it's a shining example of how a simple dessert can still feel completely luxurious.

This no-bake Nutella cheesecake calls for just cream cheese, Nutella, crushed digestive biscuits, and a touch of butter and hazelnuts. As such, this dessert is a dream for anyone short on time and resources in their baking cupboard. Fairly simple to recreate, do note that the cheesecake will need a minimum of four hours being left in the fridge before it's ready to serve.

Makes: eight to 12 slices

250g digestive biscuits

75g soft unsalted butter

350g jar of nutella

100g chopped toasted hazelnuts

500g cream cheese (at room temperature)

60g icing sugar (sifted)

Break up the digestive biscuits into a food processor, add the butter and a tablespoon of Nutella. Blitz until it clumps together.

Add three tablespoons of the hazelnuts and continue to pulse until it's a sandy mixture.
