This cheesecake is topped with a chocolate hazelnut drizzle and chopped hazelnuts.

Aesthetically, the drizzle and topping really glams up what could’ve been a very boring-looking cheesecake.

Texture-wise, this treat was more like a mousse than a cheesecake.

It had a sweet, smooth chocolate flavor with a hazelnut aftertaste.

The chocolate hazelnut drizzle was enjoyable and added some extra moisture, while the hazelnut topping provided a nice crunch.

Overall, we thought the treat was okay. It wasn’t one we’d run back for, but it was enjoyable enough for what it was.

I can’t say it bowled us over like the Almond Mocha Shake at Schmoozies!, though.
