Indulge in these creamy and decadent no-bake cheesecake cups, featuring a hazelnut-infused cream cheese filling and topped with Kinder Bueno.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (200 g)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85 g)
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened (454 g)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (90 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 1/2 cup creamy hazelnut spread (150 g)
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (240 ml)
- 4 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped (113 g)
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (80 ml)
- 1 cup sweetened whipped cream (240 ml)
- 4 Kinder Bueno bars, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts, optional
- Extra chocolate shavings, optional
Instructions
- Stir the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand. Divide between 8 mini dessert rings, sturdy dessert cups, or small jars. Press firmly into an even layer, then chill for 15 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and hazelnut spread until completely smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cold heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture in 2-3 additions, keeping the filling light, fluffy, and bakery-style thick.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over each chilled crust. Smooth the tops, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the firmest texture.
- Heat the cream until steaming for the chocolate drip, pour it over the chopped milk chocolate, let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until glossy and smooth. Cool until slightly thickened.
- Remove the chilled cheesecakes from their rings if using molds. Spoon a little chocolate ganache over each one, gently encouraging a few thick drips down the sides.
- Pipe a generous swirl of whipped cream on top. Finish each cup with a piece of Kinder Bueno, chopped hazelnuts, and chocolate shavings if desired. Chill for another 20-30 minutes before serving.
