Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup Nutella

2 large eggs

½ cup sour cream

½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour the melted butter into the mixture and stir until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, forming an even layer. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Incorporate the vanilla extract and Nutella, blending until everything is fully incorporated.

      Add the Eggs and Sour Cream: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well mixed before adding the next. Add the sour cream and a pinch of salt, mixing until the batter is silky smooth.

        Combine and Layer: Pour the Nutella cheesecake batter over the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If using chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Ensure not to overbake, as this can lead to cracks.

            Cool: Once baked, remove the cheesecake bars from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for about an hour. Once cooled, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours (or overnight for the best flavor).

              Serve: Once chilled, lift the bars out using the edges of the parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve. Optionally, drizzle with additional Nutella or chocolate sauce before serving for an extra indulgence.
