Ingredients

  • 350 g Digestive Biscuits (crushed into fine crumbs)
  • 180 g Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 500 g Cream Cheese (full‑fat, softened to room temperature)
  • 300 ml Double Cream (for the filling, chilled)
  • 200 g Kinder Chocolate (chopped, for the filling)
  • 120 g Icing Sugar (sifted)
  • 120 ml Double Cream (for the ganache)
  • 200 g Kinder Chocolate (chopped, for the ganache)
  • 30 g Extra Kinder Chocolate Pieces (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Crush the biscuits

    Place the digestive biscuits in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a processor, put the biscuits in a Ziploc bag and bash them with a rolling pin.

    Time: PT10M

  2. Combine crumbs with butter

    Melt the unsalted butter, then pour it over the biscuit crumbs. Mix with a spoon until the mixture resembles wet sand.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Press crust into pan and chill

    Turn the 8‑inch springform pan upside‑down, press the crumb‑butter mixture firmly into the base using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Melt chocolate for filling

    Measure 200 g of Kinder chocolate, place in a microwave‑safe bowl, and melt on medium power for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm, not hot.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Smooth the cream cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.

    Time: PT3M

  6. Combine chocolate with cheese

    Add the cooled melted Kinder chocolate to the smooth cream cheese and whisk until fully incorporated.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Whip double cream

    Pour 300 ml of double cream into a clean bowl and whip with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

    Time: PT5M

  8. Fold whipped cream into cheese mixture

    Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate‑cheese mixture until just combined. Do not over‑mix.

    Time: PT2M

  9. Fill the crust

    Scoop the filling into the chilled crust, spreading evenly. Add the mixture a little at a time and smooth the sides to minimize air bubbles.

    Time: PT5M

  10. Chill the cheesecake to set

    Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

    Time: PT6H

  11. Prepare ganache

    Combine the remaining 200 g of chopped Kinder chocolate with 120 ml double cream in a microwave‑safe bowl. Heat on medium for about 2 minutes, stirring until smooth.

    Time: PT2M

  12. Cool ganache slightly

    Let the ganache sit for 5 minutes to thicken just enough to coat the cheesecake without running off.

    Time: PT5M

  13. Add ganache topping

    Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, using a pallet knife to spread it to the edges. Allow it to drip naturally for a glossy finish.

    Time: PT3M

  14. Final set

    Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to let the ganache firm.

    Time: PT30M
