No Bake Hazelnut Cheesecake Parfaits With Candied Hazelnuts

Imagine a hazelnut graham cookie crust, then a delicious hazelnut cheesecake cream topped with Chocolate Pudding and then sprinkled with candied hazelnuts. If this doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what it does! Turn off the oven and let’s make this easy and delicious dessert that will please even the most picky eaters.

I have a soft spot for layered desserts. Each spoonful will grab the crust, the cheesecake, the pudding and the hazelnuts. All that flavor in one bite. Think of the flavors, the textures, the sinfulness. Nothing like it, right? Believe it or not making it is fairly easy and quick. Since the cheesecake isn’t baked, there’s no long chilling or setting times. Simply assemble everything together and you’re ready to dig in. Or, if you’d like, you can also make them in advance and serve after dinner.

I don’t know what’s my favorite part, all I can tell you is that this dessert is not complete with candied hazelnuts. I made extra just to munch on as a snack. Every time I buy hazelnuts, I always toast, shell and keep them in a baggie. So they’re available at a moment’s notice.

To make this incredible No Bake Hazelnut Cheesecake Parfaits, I took a tiny little shortcut: I used Kozy Shack® Chocolate Pudding. It delicious, creamy and comes already made in the dairy section of the supermarket. Just open and eat. No mix needed.

Today we are celebrating National Chocolate Pudding Day and to kick off the celebration, I decided to make this No Bake Hazelnut Cheesecake Parfaits and tonight I am serving them outdoors with my friends. These are my kind of holidays! How will you celebrate?

I hope you can try these delicious Hazelnut Cheesecake Parfaits at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
