    Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a bowl, pour the melted butter over them, and stir until the crumbs are uniformly coated.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Form Crust

    Press the crumb‑butter mixture into the bottom of a 6‑inch deep‑sided cake tin, using the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to create an even, compact layer.

    Time: PT3M

  6. Soften Cream Cheese

    Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator at least one hour before you plan to use it so it reaches room temperature.

    Time: PT1H

    Time: PT3M

  8. Whisk in Double Cream

    Add 200 ml double cream to the chocolate‑cream cheese blend and whisk until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks.

    Time: PT3M

  9. Add Kinder Bueno Chunks

    Fold 50 g of chopped Kinder Bueno bars into the cheesecake batter until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT1M

  10. Assemble Cheesecake

    Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

    Time: PT2M

  11. Refrigerate Cheesecake

    Place the tin in the refrigerator and chill for 6 hours (overnight is best) until the cheesecake is firm.

    Time: PT6H

  12. Make Whipped Cream Topping

    In a clean bowl, combine 200 ml cold double/whipping cream, 30 g icing sugar, and 5 ml vanilla extract. Whisk until stiff peaks form.

    Time: PT3M

  13. Pipe Cream onto Cheesecake

    Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with your preferred nozzle and pipe rosettes or a smooth border around the edge of the cheesecake.

    Time: PT2M

  14. Garnish

    Scatter the remaining chopped Kinder Bueno pieces over the whipped‑cream topping and gently press to adhere.

    Time: PT1M

  15. Serve

    Remove the cheesecake from the tin, slice into wedges, and enjoy.

    Time: PT1M
