Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 3 cups (300g) digestive biscuits, crushed
- 4 Kinder Bueno chocolate bars, crushed
- 2/3 cup (150g) butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 2 1/2 cups (600g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (100g) powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 10.5 oz (300g) Kinder chocolate, melted
- 1 2/3 cups (400ml) heavy cream (double cream)
Decoration
- Extra heavy cream (double cream), for whipping
- Extra Kinder Bueno chocolate bars
- Milk and white chocolate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Base: Place the digestive biscuits and Kinder Bueno chocolate bars into a sealable plastic bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin.
- Mix Base Ingredients: Combine the melted butter with the crushed biscuit and chocolate crumbs in a bowl until the mixture is well combined.
- Form Base in Tin: Spoon the crumb mixture into the base of a 9-inch (23cm) springform cake tin, pressing firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon to create a flat base.
- Chill Base: Refrigerate the biscuit base for at least 1 hour to allow it to set firmly.
- Melt Kinder Chocolate: Melt the Kinder chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts of about 30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Melted Chocolate: Gradually stir the melted Kinder chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and uniform in texture.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form, indicating it is light and airy but not overly stiff.
- Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and chocolate mixture until smooth and evenly combined, maintaining a light texture.
- Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit base in the springform tin and spread evenly.
- Chill Cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 5 hours, or until fully set and firm.
- Decorate and Serve: Just before serving, whip extra heavy cream if desired, top the cheesecake with extra Kinder Bueno bars, and drizzle with melted milk and white chocolate for a decorative finish.
Notes
- Ensure the Kinder chocolate is cooled slightly before mixing to prevent curdling the cream cheese.
- Press the biscuit base firmly to avoid crumbling when serving.
- Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water to slice clean pieces of cheesecake.
- The cheesecake needs to set well, so plan for adequate chilling time, preferably overnight.
