"No Bake Nutella Cheesecake"...

Well would you lookie here. Today is Mother's Day.  Can I just go on about how great my mom is for 3 seconds?  She cooks me dinner and puts up with my antics.  What more could a 20 year old girl ask for?  Oh, and her mashed potatoes are to die for.  Hey Mom!  Team 'Murica!  We speak 'Murican!  And just to let you all know I'm working diligently on getting my nice summer glow......talk about a happy girl.  I needed to buy a new bottle of tanning oil and uhhh hello? Does Hawaiian Tropic think I'm made of money? because I'm not.  The bottle of tanning oil cost $10!! TEN DOLL HAIRS!  Maybe I'm overreacting.....just a little bit.....but let's work on cutting that down to like $5 next summer.  Rant over.  So we're having homemade ribs and baked potatoes and dessert....and this dessert will literally make you just want to roll over and die out of pure happiness.....
Ingredients:
For the Crust

12 Oreo Cookies, crushed into crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter - melted

For the Filling
1 package cream cheese - softened
2/3 cup Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces of whipped topping (buy a pint of heavy whipping cream and use the leftover for garnish)

For the Garnish 
Whipped topping
Oreo Halves

Directions:

-In a medium bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between your individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer.

-In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add vanilla and mix to combine. Carefully, fold in the whipped topping until well blended and no streaks remain.

-Evenly pipe or spoon the filling into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

***I garnished these bad boys with leftover whipped topping and a half of an Oreo.  To make the whipped topping you pour the entire pint of heavy whipping cream into the mixer and add 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar.  With the whisk attachment, whip until stiff peaks form. And viola! Homemade whipped cream!***
