Chocolate-Hazelnut Icebox Cake
- 1 3/4 cups cold heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 20 whole chocolate graham crackers
- Beat 1 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup mascarpone, the confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a bowl with a mixer on low speed until combined.
- Increase the speed to medium and beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Combine the remaining 3/4 cup each heavy cream and mascarpone with the chocolate-hazelnut spread in a separate bowl.
- Beat with the mixer on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with 4 graham crackers in a single layer, breaking them into pieces to fit and fill any big gaps.
- Spread half of the vanilla whipped cream over the graham crackers, then top with another layer of graham crackers.
- Spread half of the chocolate-hazelnut whipped cream on top.
- Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, the remaining vanilla whipped cream, then more graham crackers and the remaining chocolate-hazelnut whipped cream.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Uncover the cake and run a thin knife around the edge to loosen.
- Remove the springform ring; smooth the sides of the cake using an offset spatula.
- Put the remaining 4 graham crackers in a large resealable bag; crush into fine crumbs using the bottom of a skillet.
- Press the crumbs around the side of the cake.
