Nutella Brownies are absolutely irresistible! With a thick layer of fluffy chocolate-hazelnut cheesecake mousse, you're gonna need a fork for these babies!

These ultra-thick layered Nutella Brownies are absolutely irresistible! With a fluffy chocolate-hazelnut cheesecake mousse almost as tall as the brownie itself, you’re gonna need a fork for these babies!

Nutella Brownies

Honestly, I don’t think there is a better flavor combo than chocolate and hazelnut.

Chocolate and peanut butter are great, but peanut butter is already sooooo sweet. Hazelnut have such a lovely roasted flavor, and combining them INSIDE a chocolate spread is absolute heaven in a jar!

Thank goodness for Italy and their incredible invention of Nutella.

Nutella Brownies

I LOVE brownies!

When I’m at a party with a huge dessert spread, you can bet that the first thing I grab is an ooey gooey brownie.

The thicker the better.

Chocolate chunks inside? Yes, please.

And, just to go against the grain, I usually try to fish out the middle piece. Those end pieces just aren’t for me.

When you’re craving a fudgy brownie, why would you want a crunchy, cakey corner?

Nutella Brownies

These Nutella brownies are the best of both, though!

I recommend baking them in the smallest pan you can manage – an 8×8 is perfect. It keeps them thick and fudgy, and since the final product is so rich, you’ll be eating a smaller slice.

Less guilt? Maybe not after you taste the Nutella frosting that goes on top.

It’s akin to a no-bake cheesecake – very fluffy, yet dense at the same time.

The frosting helps keep the entire pan of brownies moist and fudgy – but the corners are still perfect for those cakey lovers.

And the flavor! It’s so intensely Nutella, but you’ll definitely know you’re not just licking the spoon straight from the jar.

Whip up a batch of these Nutella brownies for your next party…or just because.

Because since when do you need a reason to eat an insanely delish brownie?

How To Make Nutella Brownies

  1. First, make your brownie batter. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line an 8×8 (super thick!) or 9×9 pan with parchment paper, and spray it with a bit of baking spray and set it aside.
  2. Mix brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil together in a large bowl (you can also use your favorite homemade brownie recipe!). Spread it in the prepared pan.
  3. Now, bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  5. While brownies are cooling, make your Nutella frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, Nutella, vanilla, and salt until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  6. Whip some heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold it into the Nutella mixture until it’s evenly combined.
  7. Spread the frosting on top of the cooled brownies, evenly smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  9. When ready to serve, drizzle the brownies with warmed Nutella and sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top.
