No-Bake Kinder Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 200 g Digestive biscuits (or Graham crackers) (Crushed into fine crumbs; if you don't have a processor, use a plastic bag and a rolling pin.)
• 100 g Unsalted or salted butter (Melted; salted butter gives a richer flavor, but you can use unsalted if you prefer.)
• 200 g Kinder chocolate (milk bar with wafer) (Break into pieces before melting; used for the filling and the ganache.)
• 400 g Cream cheese (e.g., Philadelphia) (At room temperature so it mixes without lumps.)
• 100 g Powdered sugar (icing sugar) (Sifted to avoid lumps.)
• 200 ml Heavy whipping cream – for the filling (Should be very cold before whipping.)
• 200 ml Heavy whipping cream – for the ganache (Mixed with Kinder chocolate for the ganache.)
• 100 ml Heavy whipping cream – for decoration (Whipped to stiff peaks and used for piping.)
• 1 unidad Parchment paper (20 cm round cut) (Facilitates unmolding the cheesecake.)
• 50 g Kinder pieces (for decoration) (Coarsely chopped.)

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust

   Crush the Digestive biscuits into fine crumbs, melt the butter and mix it with the crumbs until you get a damp‑sand texture. Press the mixture into the bottom of the 20 cm pan lined with parchment paper and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate for 15 min to set.

   Time: PT5M

2. Melt the Kinder chocolate for the filling

   Place the Kinder chocolate pieces in a microwave‑safe bowl and heat on medium power for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. If you don’t have a microwave, melt in a bain‑marie. Let cool slightly.

   Time: PT2M

3. Mix cream cheese and sugar

   In a large bowl, beat the room‑temperature cream cheese with the powdered sugar until you obtain a smooth, lump‑free cream.

   Time: PT3M

4. Fold in the melted chocolate

   Pour the melted (still warm) Kinder chocolate over the cream cheese and sugar mixture and beat on low speed until fully incorporated.

   Time: PT2M

5. Whip the cream to stiff peaks

   In another bowl, whip 200 ml of very cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

   Time: PT5M

6. Fold the whipped cream into the filling

   Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate‑cream cheese mixture with folding motions, taking care not to lose the incorporated air.

   Time: PT2M

7. Pour the filling over the crust

   Pour the mixture over the already‑cooled crust, smooth with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.

   Time: PT3M

8. Prepare the Kinder ganache

   Heat 200 ml of heavy whipping cream and 200 g of Kinder chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute on medium power, stirring every 20 seconds so it melts evenly. Let rest for 2 minutes and stir until you obtain a smooth ganache.

   Time: PT2M

9. Cover the cheesecake with the ganache

   Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator, pour the ganache over the surface and spread it with a spatula, allowing it to drip slightly over the edges. Refrigerate for 20 minutes so the ganache sets.

   Time: PT3M

10. Decorate with whipped cream and Kinder

    Whip the remaining 100 ml of cream to stiff peaks, place it in a pastry bag fitted with a C4 tip and pipe rings or swirls around the edge of the cheesecake. Sprinkle the chopped Kinder pieces on top.

    Time: PT5M
