Ingredients You’ll Need
Gathering your ingredients for this No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake is a breeze, but every component plays an important role in delivering flavor, structure, and indulgence. The simple pantry staples and signature chocolates guarantee a truly delightful and decadent dessert.
- Digestive biscuits or graham crackers (200g): These create the sturdy, crunchy foundation for your cheesecake base.
- Unsalted butter (100g), melted: Helps bind the crushed cookies and adds a rich, mild flavor to complement the chocolate filling.
- Cream cheese (400g), softened: The creamy backbone of the filling, ensuring every bite is velvety and tangy.
- Heavy whipping cream (200ml): Once whipped, this adds a light, fluffy texture that lifts the entire cheesecake.
- Powdered sugar (100g): Blends in smoothly to sweeten the filling without any graininess.
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Infuses the filling with warm, aromatic notes that enhance the chocolate and cream cheese.
- Kinder Bueno bars (6 bars – 4 for filling, 2 for topping), chopped: The star ingredient, these add crackly, creamy bursts of chocolate-hazelnut magic throughout every slice.
- Kinder chocolate (100g), melted and slightly cooled: Swirled into the filling for dreamy melt-in-your-mouth chocolate richness.
How to Make No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
Crush your digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or sealed bag with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted unsalted butter in a bowl until every bit is coated and slightly clumpy. Press this buttery mixture very firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, making sure the base is flat and compact. Slide it into the fridge for at least 20 minutes, giving it time to set and hold together.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
Grab a large bowl and beat the softened cream cheese until it looks creamy and silky. Next, add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until there are no lumps and everything looks beautifully smooth and thick—this is the dreamy base that ties it all together.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This helps the No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces keep its lovely light texture (and will have everyone marveling at your “how is this so fluffy without baking?!” skills).
Step 4: Combine and Add Chocolates
Gently fold your whipped cream into the sweetened cream cheese mixture with a large spatula, keeping all that air in for extra fluffiness. Stir in the melted, slightly cooled Kinder chocolate for a smooth, chocolaty ribbon. Finally, fold in 4 chopped Kinder Bueno bars so that every bite has pockets of creamy hazelnut surprise.
Step 5: Assemble and Chill
Spoon the creamy chocolate cheesecake filling over your chilled biscuit base. Use an offset spatula or spoon to smooth the top so it looks luscious already. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight if you can (the longer, the better—it’ll cut like a dream!).
Step 6: Decorate Before Serving
When you’re ready to serve your masterpiece, scatter the remaining 2 chopped Kinder Bueno bars over the top and, if you’re feeling extra, drizzle a little melted chocolate for an irresistible finish. Use a hot knife to cut clean, beautiful slices for everyone to devour.
How to Serve No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces
Garnishes
A flourish of Kinder Bueno pieces on top is a must for added texture and that wow factor. A drizzle of dark or milk chocolate, a dusting of cocoa powder, or even a scattering of toasted hazelnuts can all take this No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces to the next level. Let your inner dessert decorator run wild!
Side Dishes
This cheesecake is show-stopping on its own, but you can’t go wrong serving it with a small dish of fresh berries or a lightly sugared fruit compote. Their tartness pairs beautifully with the creamy, chocolatey richness of the cheesecake, offering both color and a bright contrast on dessert plates.
Creative Ways to Present
If you like to make a splash at a party, try making individual mini cheesecakes using a muffin tin lined with cupcake cases. Or, for a super-fun twist, turn the filling into parfaits layered with extra biscuit crumble and Kinder pieces in glasses. No matter how you slice (or scoop) it, the No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces always steals the show.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Leftover cheesecake stores beautifully. Simply cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or transfer slices to an airtight container and refrigerate. It stays fresh and creamy for up to 4 days, but honestly, it rarely lasts that long in my house!
Freezing
You can freeze No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces if needed. Wrap individual slices or the whole cheesecake firmly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and freeze for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results—the texture will stay rich and creamy.
Reheating
No need to reheat this cheesecake! Simply let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving if it has been refrigerated or thawed from the freezer. This slight softening brings out the best creamy, dreamy texture.
FAQs
Can I use a different kind of biscuit for the base?
Absolutely! While digestives or graham crackers are classic choices, you can try Oreos, chocolate biscuits, or even shortbread for a twist. Just make sure they’re dry and crumbly enough to form a good base.
What’s the best way to cut clean slices?
To get those picture-perfect slices, use a long, sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry before each cut. This helps you glide right through the creamy layers without smearing or sticking.
Do I need to use Kinder Bueno bars, or are other chocolates okay?
Kinder Bueno bars add that signature creamy, crunchy, nutty flavor, but you can substitute with other filled chocolate bars if you like. However, the unique taste that makes No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces so special might be less intense!
How far in advance can I make this cheesecake?
This dessert is actually better when made a day ahead! The flavors meld and the texture becomes super creamy after an overnight chill, so feel free to prepare it 1–2 days before you plan to serve.
Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?
Definitely! Simply swap the biscuits for your favorite gluten-free alternative. Everything else in the recipe is naturally gluten-free, making this an easy treat everyone can enjoy.
Final Thoughts
Indulgent, eye-catching, and blissfully simple, this No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake with Kinder Bueno Pieces is perfect for every celebration or sweet craving. I hope you’ll give it a try—the hardest part is waiting for it to chill before you can dig in!
