Watch how to make a no bake kinder bueno cheesecake

Before you start with this recipe:

Here’s everything you need to know before starting with this recipe: what equipment you’ll need (and the sizes), why we’re using the ingredients we’re using, and how to substitute them to accommodate different dietary needs.

1. No bake kinder bueno cheesecake ingredients

What Ingredients Do We Need to Make This Easy and Delicious No-Bake Kinder Bueno Cheesecake and no bake cheesecake variations

• Biscuits: Crush these to form the base. You’ll need melted butter (or margarine as a cheaper alternative—we’ve used margarine for the last two cheesecakes, and the result is almost the same, though butter tastes better!).
• Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened—this will be the base of the rich and creamy cheesecake filling.
• Kinder Bueno Spread: You can find this on Amazon. If unavailable, melt Kinder Maxi Bars until the color becomes slightly more intense.
• Sugar: Use either powdered sugar or granulated sugar—both work well, and the texture remains the same since it’s used to whip the cream. This will sweeten the cheesecake perfectly.
• Whipped Cream: Ensure you’re using cream with at least 35% fat content. Anything less won’t whip properly.
• Kinder Buenos: For decorating the top.
• Wafer rolls: Use these for the sides, or substitute with crushed biscuits if preferred.

2. Necessary equipment

• Food processor for crushing the biscuits, or a rolling pin with a ziplock bag as an alternative.
• A spatula to combine all the ingredients smoothly.
• An electric mixer or whisk to whip the heavy cream to perfection.
• A cake pan—make sure it’s leak-proof! My favorite size to use is 17 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height.
• Two mixing bowls: one for combining all the ingredients and another for whipping the cream.

*I’ve found that mixing the cream cheese with a wooden spoon or spatula helps prevent it from melting. I feel like some European countries struggle with this because, here, we typically need to use gelatin for a cheesecake to hold its shape. However, when I went to Canada, I noticed that no matter what you use, the cream cheese holds its shape much better.*

Pan size for this no bake kinder bueno cheesecake

For this easy no-bake cheesecake recipe, we’re using a pan sized 17 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height (that’s about 6.7 inches in diameter and 2.4 inches in height).

This pan became my favorite almost instantly after I bought it—the brand is Zenker, and we found it at HomeSense Canada. To me, it’s the perfect size, and I can’t recommend it enough!

How to prepare the crust

Making a cheesecake crust is so easy, especially if you have a food processor. Honestly, I use my normal blender because it’s more practical for me. Just make sure to blend the biscuits as finely as possible so that when you add the butter, it reaches the perfect consistency.

Personally, I find it a struggle every time I have to crush biscuits with a ziplock bag and rolling pin—it burns and itches my hands! Does anyone else feel the same? If you have the same issue and don’t have a food processor or blender, you can buy pre-crushed graham biscuits or even jump on top of the cookies (while they’re locked in a bag, of course!)—you’ll get to exercise and crush the biscuits at the same time!

Once you’ve mixed the melted butter or margarine with the biscuits, place the mixture into the pan and press it down using your hands (the best option!) or a glass/spoon. Make sure to let the base chill in the freezer or fridge while you prepare the cheesecake filling for this easy Kinder Bueno dessert recipe. This step ensures the base hardens properly, giving you the perfect foundation for your no-bake Kinder Bueno cheesecake

Best tips

The best tips I can give you to make a yummy and simple no-bake cheesecake recipe:

1. Don’t overwhip the cream: Stop whipping just before it reaches stiff peaks. When you fold the cream into the rest of the ingredients, it will continue to whip, and overwhipping can result in a split-looking cheesecake texture.
2. Let the cream cheese (and Kinder Bueno spread, if using) sit at room temperature: This helps avoid lumps and ensures a smooth, creamy filling.
3. Use a cold, clean, and dry bowl to whip the cream: I don’t mean you need to refrigerate the bowl, but avoid using it right after it’s warm from the dishwasher.
4. Let the cheesecake set for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight): If you try to remove it from the pan before this time, it will collapse.

Follow these tips, and you’ll have the perfect no-bake cheesecake recipe every time!

How to make the middle kinder bueno layer

Making the center layer for this decadent Kinder Bueno dessert is easier than you think and will make it look incredibly impressive. You have two options—choose whichever feels more comfortable for you.

For references, this is the middle layer we are talking about.

The first option is simpler: freeze the Kinder Bueno mixture into a disk. The second option is to spread it directly on top of the cheesecake layer. Whichever method you choose, you’ll end up with the same delicious result.

Here’s how to assemble it:

1. Add half of the cheesecake filling to the prepared crust and smooth it out.
2. For the Kinder Bueno layer, you can either: Carefully spread the Kinder Bueno spread (or melted Kinder Maxi bars if you can’t find the spread) over the cheesecake layer, making sure not to reach the edges of the pan, or place the frozen Kinder Bueno disk on top.
3. Add the remaining half of the cheesecake filling and smooth it out again

This is how it will look on the cheesecake.
