Crunchy, creamy and chocolatey with a hint of hazelnut – there’s not much to dislike about Kinder Bueno is there?! Nope! That’s why it made perfect sense to unite it with cheesecake!

Honestly, it really is easy to make and tastes sooooo good! The cheesecake filling even has tons of melted Kinder bars in it for added Kinder flavour.

Kinder Bueno cheesecake ingredients

Here’s everything you need to know about the ingredients required to make this recipe.

Biscuit base

• Digestive Biscuits – If you’re in the US you can use graham crackers, but here in the UK digestive biscuits are best. Any brand will do!
• Kinder Bueno Bars – There are no substitutions for this! If you want a Kinder Bueno cheesecake you kind of have to use Kinder Buenos.
• Butter – I always use unsalted butter in baking. This way you can control the overall salt level much more easily.

Cheesecake filling

• Kinder Bars – Not to be confused with Buenos, these are the little Kinder Bars that children often eat. (They’re perfect for melting into the filling!)
• Cream – Only double cream (heavy cream in the US) will work in this recipe as it needs to be whippable.
• Cream Cheese – Philadelphia full fat cream cheese is my go to with no bake cheesecakes. Other brands/lighter versions have failed me in the past!
• Sugar – Golden caster sugar is my favourite but regular caster sugar will work great too. (Superfine sugar in the US.)

Decoration (optional)

• Mini Meringue Nests – My naughty cheat for decorating. You could pipe whipped cream on top instead if you like.
• Chocolate Fudge Sauce – This is entirely optional but it makes it look SO good! This chocolate fudge sauce recipe is perfect.

Is Kinder Bueno cheesecake expensive to make?

It can be a little expensive yes. My advice would be to keep an eye on the offers in supermarkets (particularly on the Philadelphia cream cheese, Kinder Buenos and Kinder Bars) or even in discounted shops like Home Bargains. 

Kinder Bueno cheesecake tips and troubleshooting

I try to make my recipes as easy as possible to follow, but we are all human and we all make mistakes. Yes, even me!! Here’s a few pointers to make sure you get it right first time.

• Make sure you line your tin! Sounds daft but if you don’t, you are never getting your cheesecake out in one piece! Trust me.
• When whipping cream, make sure it’s cold and the bowl is clean.
• If you can, whip the cream by hand. It won’t take long and it’s much harder to over whip. (Which is easily done by machine!)
• Only use full fat Philadelphia original cream cheese. Other brands/lighter versions may not set properly.
• Decorate just before serving as your toppings will become soft over time.
• Make this the day before you need it then decorate before serving for a stress free dessert.
• Use white chocolate Kinder Buenos for a different flavour.

Here is what you will need to serve 10.

(For a printer friendly version, see the recipe card at the end of this post)

Ingredients

Biscuit base

• 300g (3 Cups) Digestive Biscuits / Graham Crackers
• 3 x Individual Kinder Bueno Bars
• 125g (1/2 Cup) Unsalted Butter

Cheesecake filling

• 300g (10.5 oz) Kinder Chocolate Bars
• 250ml (1 Cup) Double Cream / Heavy Cream, cold
• 400g (1 + 3/4 Cups) Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese, room temp
• 100g (1/2 Cup) Golden Caster Sugar
• 4 x Individual Kinder Bueno Bars

Decoration (optional)

• 8 x Mini Meringue Nests
• 2 – 3 x Individual Kinder Bueno Bars
• Chocolate Sauce

Essential equipment

• 20cm / 8″ Springform Pan
• Food Processor
• Small Bowl
• Metal Spoon
• 3 x Mixing Bowls
• Spatula
• Balloon Whisk

Biscuit base instructions

First and foremost, lightly grease and line your springform pan on the base and sides with baking paper.

Now blitz the digestive biscuits / graham crackers (300g | 3 Cups) in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.

Then break the Kinder Bueno into pieces (3 x individual bars) and blitz them into the biscuit crumbs.

Place the butter (125g | 1/2 Cup) in a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Stir well after each time. Then pour this into the biscuit crumbs and blitz just until it starts to clump together.

Next, tip the whole lot into your lined tin and press the crumb mixture firmly into the base and sides using the back of a metal spoon.

Pop it into the fridge to set while we make the filling.

Filling instructions

Place the Kinder chocolate bars (300g | 10.5 oz) and 8 tbsp of the cream (out of 250ml | 1 Cup) into a mixing bowl. 

Heat in 10 second intervals in the microwave, stirring well with a spatula each time. Keep going until it’s completely melted then set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, pour the remaining cream into a mixing bowl and whip to the soft peaks stage using a balloon whisk. I highly recommend you do this by hand if you can as it’s so easy to over whip/ruin it by machine!

Then, in thirds, carefully fold the whipped cream into the melted Kinder chocolate mixture.

Try to use a light touch so you don’t knock any air out of the cream.

It will become smooth and lighter in colour.

In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese (400g | 1 + 3/4 Cups) and caster sugar (100g | 1/2 Cup) until it becomes smooth and shiny.

Then gradually fold the Kinder chocolate/cream mixture into the sweetened cream cheese. It should become smooth and streak free.

Now you have a choice to make…

1. Roughly chop 4 individual Kinder Bueno bars and fold them through the filling. They will lose their crunch and become chewy in texture. I personally love this but not everyone will.
2. Save the Kinder Bueno bars and pile them all on top for a seriously crunchy and epic decoration.

It really is down to your personal preference. Whichever you chose, I guarantee it will taste incredible!

This is what folding them into the filling would look like…

Finally, pour the filling into the chilled base and smooth out with a spatula.

That’s the hard part done! Chill in the fridge for 4 hours to set. (Overnight is fine too.)

Decoration (optional)

When you’re ready to serve, top with mini meringue nests, Kinder Bueno pieces and chocolate sauce. If you’re not a fan of my meringue shortcut – you can pipe swirls of whipped cream on top instead.

And that’s it! You just made a truly magnificent and drool inducing dessert. Well done you! Store your Kinder Bueno cheesecake in the fridge and consume within 4 days. Just remember that your toppings will soften over time.
