No-Bake Kinder Bueno Cheesecake!
*This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more details!*
A Buttery Biscuit Base, Kinder Chocolate & Kinder Bueno Filling, Whipped Cream, Melted Chocolate, and even more Kinder Bueno! The PERFECT No-Bake Kinder Bueno Cheesecake!
So, I knew this recipe had to happen soon. I have had SO MANY REQUESTS for this I can’t actually count them anymore! I used to refer people to my Ferrero Rocher & Nutella No-Bake Cheesecake, because Ferrero and Kinder are actually quite similar nut wise, and flavour wise, so its easy enough to swap out the Ferrero Rocher, and put in the Kinder Bueno.
HOWEVER, after using the Kids Kinder Chocolate bars you can buy in my Kinder Bueno Cupcakes for the buttercream, I knew melting them down and flavouring a cheesecake mix would work as well! Honestly, it makes it a completely different taste to just regular Milk or Dark Chocolate!!
I went for my usual style of No-Bake Cheesecake as they’re oh so popular still, and they always work for me. A similar style to my No-Bake Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cheesecake, I used a Digestive biscuit base (use any biscuit you like really, but if its a filled biscuit like an Oreo, reduce the butter to 125g) and then topped it with the creamy and delicious filling.
A mix of Full-Fat Cream Cheese, Icing Sugar, Double Cream, and Vanilla is the perfect vanilla cheesecake; but adding in the Melted Kinder Chocolate gives it a light but delicious hint of a flavour of Kinder Chocolate. Folding through the Kinder Bueno was just heavenly.
You can of course use normal Milk Chocolate in the Kinder Chocolates place if you wished, but I love the flavour of the Kinder Chocolate. It does cool quite a bit quicker compared to normal chocolate, so I only waited about a minute before I poured it into my Cream Cheese mixture. You don’t need it to be stone cold (and therefore solid) by any means, but it just can’t be fresh out of the microwave hot!
I made a Video for this recipe on my Youtube channel, and I always have to speed up my videos (Kinda like those Tasty ones you see on Facebook?) as you can only watch sooo much of whisking a mixture. However, you can see the order in which I add the ingredients, and that I use a stand mixer and the whisk attachment.
If you are using a Hand Whisk instead of a stand mixer, try not to whisk it tooooo fast as the surface area in which its whisking is smaller, so it can be more likely to split! Stay patient, and you’ll have a delicious pud! I wouldn’t really recommend whisking by hand, as you arm is going to probably fall off by the end of it, and I don’t think you would be able to get it thick enough!
Yes, the Kinder Bueno in the middle goes ever so slightly soft after its been sat in the cheesecake mix for a while, but it’s not the end of the world. It’s there for flavour, but if you don’t want to use them in the middle then you don’t have to! It’s optional. I really hope you enjoy this recipe! x
No-Bake Kinder Bueno Cheesecake!
Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 300 g Digestives
- 150 g Unsalted Butter/Stork (melted)
Cheesecake Filling
- 500 g Full Fat Cream Cheese
- 100 g Icing Sugar
- 300 ml Double Cream
- 250 g Kinder Chocolate
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 13 Individual Kinder Bueno Bars (chopped)
Decoration
- 150 ml Double Cream
- 2 tbsp Icing Sugar
- 3 Individual Kinder Bueno Bars (chopped)
- 50 g Chocolate (melted)
- Sprinkles
Instructions
To make the Cheesecake Base
- Melt the butter in the microwave on short bursts on in a small pan over a medium heat – Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a small crumb, add the melted butter, and pulse a few times until it is combined well.
- Tip into a 8″/20cm Deep Springform Tin and press down firmly – chill in the refrigerator whilst you do the rest!
To make the Cheesecake Filling
- Melt the Kinder Chocolate in the microwave in short bursts until fully melted – leave to cool slightly whilst doing the rest.
- With an electric mixer (I used my KitchenAid) Whisk the Cream Cheese, Icing sugar and Vanilla until combined. Pour in the melted Kinder Chocolate and whisk again till smooth.
- Pour in the liquid double cream and continue to whip the mixture until it is starting to thicken a lot like a Mousse does (I use speed 6/10 on my KitchenAid)! It will hold it self completely when finished whipping – It won’t take too long as the chocolate will harden quickly and cause it to thicken.
- Chop up the Kinder Bueno Bars and fold through the mixture – If you don't like kinder buenos going soft, don't put them inside the cheesecake as they will soften!
- Pour the mix on to the biscuit base, smooth over, cover, and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours hours or preferably overnight.
To decorate the Cheesecake
- Remove the cheesecake from the tin, and decorate by drizzling over some melted chocolate, some whipped up cream (double cream + icing sugar), a piece of Kinder Bueno for each slice, and some chocolate sprinkles!

Notes
- ** I used 2 x 4 pack of Kinder Buenos for this. Each 4Pack contains 8 individual bars, as there is 2 in each. I used 3 for the topping, and the other 13 for the inside of the cheesecake! I used these Kinder Chocolate Bars for reference, for the filling of the cheesecake!
- If it looks like your cheesecake isn’t setting, or its a but sloppy, or you’re even not sure.. try it anyway. Try to set the mix anyway! If it still doesn’t set, freeze it and have an Ice Cream Cheesecake!
- I recommend using a 8″/20cm Deep Springform Tin in this recipe!
- I always set my cheesecakes in the fridge overnight otherwise they risk being a little runny still and slipping off the biscuit base but if you want to risk it then go for it!
- This Cheesecake will last covered in the fridge for 3 days!
ENJOY!

I love this recipe and am considering making this for Christmas Day. Could I make this several days before, freeze then defrost before Christmas Day? I know this will keep for a few days in the fridge but I’d love to have it as fresh as possible and want to make as much as I can in advance so I can relax a little on the day.
Can I add a thin layer of the creamy hazelnut spread to the bottom as per your Kinder Pie? Or would that just be too much?
Also if I stired though Kinder mini chocs that’s are sealed by chocolate, would the waffer still go soggy?
Hello! If I wanted a *sloghtly* bigger one – 9” tin – is there any sorta rule for adding a bit of everything? Sorry if it’s been asked before! I just can’t find this question in the comments xx
Hi Jane. If i wanted to do a hobnob base for this cheesecake would the butter to biscuit ratio be the same? Thanks.
I would say you need to use 2/3 of the butter x
I don’t like cakes like these so I never make them. I only made it because my husband asked for it. Holy, was this delicious!! Not too sweet, rich but not heavy – perfect combination.
I’m planning on making this for my nephew but his favourite is white chocolate kinder – can I still follow this recipe using white chocolate instead of kinder chocolate??
When you say 13 bars do you mean 13x packs of the 2x packs or 13 individual rows of the bars so you only need to buy say 6 packs as you get 2 rows in a pack
13 rows is 13 bars, but you can of course add however many you wish x
Yes
i tried this recipe a few months ago and loved it! very easy to follow and tastes delicious, the whole family loved it, will definitely be making again
Hello!!
I’ve been trying to find a ‘Kinder Happy Hippo Hazelnut’ cheesecake recipe but can’t seem to find one anywhere. Please can you suggest how I can alter this recipe and use Kinder Happy Hippo Hazelnut rather than Kinder Bueno Bars?
Thanks
Claire
Follow the same recipe, just decorate with hippos!
Hi, could you use light cream cheese instead of the full fat or would it not work 🤔
Hiya! Sadly not – you need to use full fat to ensure it sets properly! Hope this helps! x
I’m looking to make a mini version in a 5 inch tin. How’s much of the ingredients would I need?
I’m looking at making a gluten free friendly mini version of this in a 5 inch tin how do you suggest I decrease the ingredient please?
Made this once before, was amazing very light full of flavour, the only problem I had was how to get it of the base of the spring form tin I did line it but then had the paper stuck to cheesecake bottom any ideas how to remove the paper from bottom of cheese cake thanks xx
Hiya, Personally I don’t put paper on the bottom of cheesecakes as I find it way too awkward, I just use a thin knife or spatula to get it out of the tin xx
Cover the base of the tin with a piece of grease proof. paper so it overlaps by a couple of inches all round and put the side of the tin on as normal, pull the paper tight from underneath. Think of a sewing frame. Once it is set the cheesecake will just slide off. X
Hiya if it helps I make it straight onto a plate or cake board in a springform tin with the base removed so once it’s set you just remove the side and viola it’s on the board/plate
Hello Jane! I absolutely always love your recipes! I think they are so well thought out.
I have made a fair few of your cheesecakes now and they are always great and hold shape when I take them out of their spring tin but they are softer than I’d say a normal cheesecake is, it doesn’t go hard despite keeping shape. Does this sound right or am I doing something wrong? Ps they are always left over night!
Thanks so much, Abbey 🙂
Hey! Aww thank you so much that is very kind! That just sounds like it hasn’t set properly that is all xx
I flip the base of the spring tin over then the lip is at the bottom and makes the base flat and even
for the biscuit base to lie on. 👍
Hi Jane, I was thinking about making this cheesecake…was just wondering if the unsalted better is essential or can you use normal butter?
Hey! Any butter can be used for the base xx
Hi Jane
I was wondering if I could half the ingredient for the middle cream layer because I don’t like soo much cream In opposed to the biscuit base
Would that work?
Thanks
Hi Jane I was wondering if I could half the recipe of the middle cream layer because I don’t like soo much cream in opposed to the base
Would that work?
Thanks
Hey! If you mean halve the cheesecake filling then yes you can xx
