No Bake Nutella Icebox Cake

Adapted from the original recipe at: Apron Strings

Serves 4 to 6
Prep Time 20 minutes
Chill Time 4 hours

Ingredients
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 box (14 ounces) graham crackers 
  • 1 small jar (14 ounces) Nutella
Directions
  1. Whip cream, vanilla, salt and sugar until soft peaks. Slowly add in 1/2 cup of the Nutella and the cream cheese until well blended.
  2. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap.
  3. Spread Nutella on graham crackers in a thin layer and lay them face down in the pan, cutting the crackers so they make a single layer. 
  4. Once the bottom is covered, spoon 2/3 of a cup of the whipped cream mixture onto the crackers, spread, and repeat the process until you've used up all the nutella whipped cream. 
  5. Place plastic wrap on top and then place in freezer for 2 hours. Remove and place in refrigerator for an additional 2 hours (or overnight - the cake is that much better if it has a chance to rest in the fridge 12-24 hours)
  6. Remove wrap, invert onto serving plate and slice as you would a cake.
