Ingredients You'll Need:
This recipe breaks down into two main components: the cheesecake base and the Kinder Bueno topping.
For the Cheesecake Base:
- 200g digestive biscuits (graham crackers)
- 80g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 x 250g packs of cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended for best texture)
- 150g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100ml double cream (heavy cream)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for a brighter flavour)
For the Kinder Bueno Topping:
- 10-12 Kinder Bueno bars, roughly chopped (reserve some for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
This recipe is easier than you think! Follow these simple steps for a perfect Kinder Bueno Cheesecake.
1. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for an even consistency.
- Combine the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl, mixing until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 23cm springform tin. Use the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
- Refrigerate the base while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and caster sugar together until smooth and creamy. An electric mixer makes this process much easier.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Don't overmix.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using).
- Gently fold in the double cream until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles.
3. Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the springform tin into a larger roasting tin. Pour enough boiling water into the larger tin to come halfway up the sides of the springform tin (this creates a water bath, preventing cracking).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for another hour.
- Once cooled, remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set.
4. Add the Kinder Bueno Topping:
- Once the cheesecake is fully set, remove it from the springform tin.
- Sprinkle the chopped Kinder Bueno bars evenly over the top.
- Garnish with reserved Kinder Bueno pieces.
Tips for Success:
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother, more easily incorporated mixture.
- Water bath: The water bath is crucial for preventing cracks and ensuring even baking.
- Don't overbake: Slightly wobbly in the center is okay; it will set further as it cools.
- Chill thoroughly: Allowing the cheesecake to chill completely is essential for achieving the perfect texture.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Kinder Bueno Cheesecake chilled. It's delicious on its own, or you can pair it with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
