Ingredients
For the Base:
- 300 g (3 cups) biscuits
- 100 g (7 tablespoons) melted butter, add more if needed to achieve a sandy, pressable consistency
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 500 g (2 cups) cream cheese
- 245 g (1 cup) heavy whipping cream
- 40 g (1/3 cup) powdered sugar
- 165 g (2/3 cup) Kinder Bueno spread
- 4 vanilla beans
For Decoration:
- 125 g (1/2 cup) Kinder Bueno spread
- 2 milk Kinder Bueno bars, cut into pieces
- crushed almonds (optional)
Instructions
Crust
- Place the biscuits in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
- Pour the melted butter over the crushed biscuits and mix until sandy and pressable.
- Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. First press the biscuit mixture up the sides, then press evenly into the bottom. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Cheesecake filling
- In a cold, clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Work the room-temperature cream cheese with a spatula until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, scrape the seeds from all 4 vanilla beans, and fold them in along with the Kinder Bueno spread. Once fully combined, gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to set completely.
Decorate
- Warm the reserved Kinder Bueno spread slightly and drizzle over the cheesecake.
- Arrange the 7–8 cut milk Kinder Bueno pieces on top and press chopped nuts around the sides if desired.
- Chill for an additional 15–30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Whipping Cream: Use heavy whipping cream with at least 35 percent fat and a cold, clean bowl for best results.
- Setting Time: Chill the cheesecake for a minimum of 8 hours, ideally overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- Balancing Sweetness: Kinder Bueno spread is very sweet, so the powdered sugar in the filling is measured to balance the flavor.
- Vanilla Quality: Use high-quality vanilla beans for the best flavor. If unavailable, a good-quality vanilla bean paste or extract works.
