1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup Nutella, warmed slightly
For Topping (Optional):
Extra Nutella for drizzling
Whipped cream
Chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Make the Crust: In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake for 5 minutes and set aside.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
- Swirl in Nutella: Fill each crust with cheesecake filling, about 3/4 full. Add a teaspoon of warmed Nutella on top and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until centers are set. Let cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Serve: Drizzle with extra Nutella and top with whipped cream or chopped hazelnuts, if desired.
