10 ounces graham crackers (I used Marie biscuits, you should have about 2 cups of crumbs)
6 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
13-ounce jar Nutella, at room temperature
2 (8-ounce) boxes Neufchâtel, cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1. To make the crust, break the crackers into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse with the butter and 1 tablespoon Nutella until the mixture is grainy and clumps together like damp sand. For a gadget-free (I hope a rolling pin qualifies) version, follow my instructions for Calamansi No-Bake Cloud Pie crust.
2. Using your hands, dump the mixture into a greased 9-inch round springform pan and press to form a crust. Chill in the fridge. If you don’t have a springform, line a pie plate with parchment like I did.
3. Stir and beat the cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the rest of the Nutella (yes, all of it!) and stir and beat until there’s no more white to be seen. I did this by hand but use a hand mixer on low if you prefer.4. Take the crust out of the fridge and smooth the Nutella mixture over the crust with a spatula. Chill at least four hours. Dip your knife in water before cutting and serve straight from the fridge for best results.
