Show off cheesecake

There are some desserts that I know are going to make a good impression. I generally bust these out when I want to show off or when I can't think of anything new and I want to make something I know will be delicious.

My friend invited me to lunch today. The other people at the lunch included her parents who had just arrived from Ireland and some other friends who I have heard about heaps of times but think only meet once (and that was at a Halloween Party so everyone was in costume). I said I would bring dessert and I wanted something that would impress and knew that this cheesecake would definitely hit the mark. I also wanted to use the rest of the salted caramel sauce from Thursday night's Whoopie Pies. The result, a superbly creamy cheesecake with a salty/sweet cream topping.

No bake baking

I saw a recipe online about a month ago and have been waiting for my chance to make it. My baking motivation has been a little low over the past month, but last weekend my brother and his lovely girlfriend came over for dinner so I dusted off my mixing beaters and got back into the kitchen.  

This recipe comes from My Baking Addiction. The first thing that caught my attention was the use of Nutella. I've seen so many Nutella recipes lately, but this one was too hard to pass. Also, it was a cheesecake - no challenge.

So here it is. I recommend you try it. It was silky smooth and beautifully rich. I could only manage to eat half of mine, an absolute shocker for me, but it was amazing.
