Step 4

For cream cheese lump-free mixing, scrape bowl often. Mix eggs into batter. Incorporate first before adding more eggs. After adding eggs, avoid overmixing cheesecake. Stir in salt and vanilla briefly.

For assembly Add 1/3 cheesecake batter to cooled crust. Add spoonfuls Nutella. Stir hazelnut spread into batter with knife or small offset spatula. Pour 1/3 more batter on top. Spoon more Nutella into batter.
