## **Instructions**

### 1. **Prepare the Crust**

* Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
* In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
* Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner in a muffin tin, forming an even crust layer.

### 2. **Make the Cheesecake Filling**

* In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
* Add Nutella and sugar, and continue beating until fully combined.
* Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and sour cream (if using). Beat until smooth.

### 3. **Assemble and Bake**

* Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling about 3/4 full.
* Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still slightly jiggle.
* Turn off the oven and leave cupcakes inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes to prevent cracking.

### 4. **Cool and Chill**

* Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
* Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) before serving.

## **Tips for Perfect Nutella Cheesecake Cupcakes**

* Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the batter.
* Don’t overbake — a slight jiggle in the center means they’ll be creamy and soft after chilling.
* For extra flair, top with whipped cream, chopped hazelnuts, or a drizzle of Nutella.
