Nutella Pie

Holy crap, this is a good one. My mom made this for our Easter dessert. She thinks the recipe was from Woman's Day.

Ingredients:

• one prepared chocolate cookie piecrust (such as Oreo)
• 1 8oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup Nutella
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 tbs. mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, Nutella, and 1/4 cup sugar.
• Beat until well blended.
• Add egg and 1/4 cup hazelnuts and beat until blended.
• Pour mixture into the pie crust and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove and cool completely.
• Once cooled, beat heavy cream, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and the vanilla on high until peaks form. Spread over the pie.
• Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup hazelnuts and mini chocolate chips.

It's super rich, so I'd start with a small piece, but such an easy and yummy dessert.
