Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups chocolate graham cracker or Oreo crumbs (about 20 cookies)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
- 4 Kinder Bueno bars (chopped)
- 4 Kinder chocolate sticks (chopped)
For the Topping:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Extra Kinder Bueno pieces for garnish
- Chocolate shavings or hazelnut spread drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate graham cracker or Oreo crumbs with melted unsalted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain the light texture. Stir in the Nutella until fully combined, then gently fold in the chopped Kinder Bueno bars and Kinder chocolate sticks.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the prepared filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the filling to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Topping: Heat the ½ cup heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy, forming a ganache. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the set cheesecake.
- Garnish and Final Chill: Decorate the cheesecake with extra chopped Kinder Bueno pieces and optionally drizzle with chocolate shavings or hazelnut spread. Chill the assembled cheesecake again for 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For clean and neat slices, wipe the knife with a warm, damp cloth between each cut.
- Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill sufficiently to ensure smooth slicing and proper texture.
