How to Make a Kinder Bueno Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a springform pan with parchment paper around the edges.

If you want to add a crust, do so now. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir together then press into the bottom of the springform pan and set it aside.

In a blender or food processor, add the Kinder Bueno with 1 cup of heavy cream. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth.

Turn off the heat and open the oven door. Let it sit for 30-minutes before removing it from the oven.

Let the cheesecake cool for an additional 30-minutes to one hour then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to overnight before removing from the pan and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Size Springform Pan Does This Need?

When you are making this cheesecake recipe, you will need to make it in a springform pan. You want to use a pan that is 8 inches or larger. Using a smaller pan will not be large enough to hold the cheesecake.

You can however make this into smaller cheesecakes but you will need to separate the crust and batter between the pans.

What All Can I Use for the Crust?

Typically cheesecake crust is made from graham crackers. You can make the crust from other things too. Chocolate graham crackers or Oreo cookies can be used to make a cheesecake crust. If you don't have graham crackers, you can use digestive biscuits, which is another type of cookie.

I have seen cheesecakes made with all kinds of crumbs. The key is to use a cookie or something similar that can be processed down into crumbs.

How Long is Homemade Cheesecake Good For?

Cheesecake is best if you eat it within 5 days. If you are not going to eat the Kinder Bueno cheesecake within 5 days, you will want to store it in the freezer. This will prevent the cheesecake from spoiling.

Can I Freeze a Cheesecake?

Yes, you can freeze cheesecake. It is best to cut the cake into slices first before you freeze it. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap, then place in an airtight container or freezer storage bag that has been dated and labeled. This will prevent it from getting freezer burn and having an off-putting taste.

It is best to eat the frozen cheesecake within 3 months. You can thaw the cheesecake in the refrigerator. Cheesecake that is half frozen is delicious too, but you will need to let it thaw slightly to get the fork through it.
