Notes

For the smoothest filling, use room-temperature cream cheese.
To get clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe between cuts.
Cheesecake can be made up to 2 days ahead.
Biscoff or hazelnut cookies also make an amazing crust variation.
For a lighter version, replace ½ cup of Nutella with ½ cup Greek yogurt.
