Stand mixer – with this kitchen robot, you'll never have to whisk ever again. I always have a trustworthy kitchen robot like this one in my kitchen
Food processor – use a rolling pin to crush up your biscuits if you need, but I would highly recommend using a food processor to get the perfect crumbly base for your cheesecake
Coffee tamper – an excellent way to ensure your cheesecake base is even and tightly packed

How to make Kinder Bueno cheesecake

You need biscuits, Kinder and Kinder Bueno chocolates, butter, cream cheese, cream and sugar for this recipe.

Line a cheesecake tin.

Place the Kinder Bueno bars and cookies in a food processor.

Blitz until a rough crumb forms.

Melt the butter.

Drizzle it over the crumbs and mix.

Transfer to the cheesecake tin.

Flatten it to an even layer.

Place the Kinder chocolate in a bowl and zap for short stints in a microwave.

Make sure the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool.

Place the sugar, vanilla and cream cheese in a mixing bowl.

Whisk until everything is well incorporated.

Pour in the cooled, melted chocolate.

Mix well.

Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

Transfer to the cheesecake tin. Chill for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. Decorate to your heart's content. Enjoy!

What to serve with Kinder Bueno cheesecake

Tea or coffee

Your favourite hot beverage is perfect accompaniment to this luscious cheesecake.

Wine

Fancy pairing this dessert with a glass of wine? A light, fragrant, semi-sweet sparkling red would elevate this wonderful cheesecake, complementing the chocolate flavor. My recommendation is the delicious Italian red Valpolicella. Failing that, go for a Bartenura.

Popular substitutions

I've gone for plain digestive biscuits for this cheesecake recipe. However, you can use any biscuit you like. You could use Hobnobs or ginger biscuits, for example. For those in the U.S., Graham crackers are a great alternative.
Make the biscuit base even more decadent by using chocolate chip cookies.

Top tips for the perfect cheesecake

Beat your cream cheese at room temperature. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge 30 minutes before you put it in the mixer. This will help it to blend smoothly with the rest of the ingredients.
When whipping the double cream, be careful. Too runny and the no bake cheesecake will be sloppy, too stiff and it will be too dense.
Remove air bubbles from the cheesecake filling by dropping the tin onto the countertop 5 to 10 times from a height of about 5 inches.
Use an angled palette knife to smooth the top and side and top to your cheesecake.
Full-fat cream cheese is essential when making no-bake cheesecakes. The reduced fat kind will produce a grainy cheesecake mixture and won't set properly.
Always use a springform tin – the kind with clips on the side. It makes removing the cheesecake very easy.

Variations

Nutella cheesecake

You can use a hazelnut spread to enhance the flavours of this Kinder Bueno cheesecake recipe. You can use any type of hazelnut spread, but I also go for Nutella. Nutella never disappoints. Just add 3 tablespoons of Nutella into the cream cheese filling and you are good to go. You can control the intensity of the nutty flavours by adding or reducing the amount of Nutella you use.

Extra toppings

Here are the best toppings you can use for this Kinder Bueno cheesecake recipe:

Kinder Bueno candy bars - by far the best and most suitable toppings
Kinder chocolate bars - another agreeable topping
chocolate fudge sauce or caramel sauce
Kinder schoko bons or Kinder eggs (an excellent choice for birthdays, celebrations or Easter).
hazelnuts or almond flakes
chocolate shavings
cocoa powder

Spice up your biscuit base

Add half a teaspoon of cinnamon to the biscuit base mix. You could even add some orange zest to bring out the fruity flavours

Cocoa powder

Different chocolates

Use any of your favourite chocolates to decorate the top of the cheesecake on top. The likes of Minstrels, Maltesers and Oreos would all be great.

Do you need to bake Kinder Bueno cheesecake?

No. This cheesecake is a no bake recipe.

How do you stop cheesecake base from crumbling?

Be sure you pack down your biscuit base properly. This keeps it dense and prevents the layers leaking through. Use a coffee tamper.
