Ingredients You’ll Need
The magic of Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu comes from just a handful of pantry staples, each chosen for a purpose. Every ingredient shines, bringing its own flavor, texture, or creamy goodness to the table, with Kinder Bueno bars taking center stage for a unique twist.
- Kinder Bueno bars (6–8, chopped): These add irresistible creamy hazelnut and chocolate pockets, plus a delightful crunch throughout the dessert.
- Heavy cream (1 cup): Whips into billowy peaks for a cloud-like mascarpone filling.
- Mascarpone cheese (8 ounces, softened): This Italian cheese gives the tiramisu its rich, velvety base—so be sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Powdered sugar (1/3 cup): Sweetens the creamy layer without any grittiness.
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Rounds out the flavors and enhances the mascarpone mixture’s aroma.
- Strong brewed coffee (1/2 cup, cooled): The classic tiramisu soak, it infuses the ladyfingers with just the right espresso kick.
- Ladyfinger biscuits (12–16): Layers soak up the coffee and hold everything together for perfect squares.
- Chocolate hazelnut spread (1/4 cup, like Nutella): For that gooey, nutty drizzle—it’s easier to work with if gently warmed.
- Cocoa powder (for dusting): A finishing touch that adds visual drama and an extra chocolate note.
- Extra Kinder Bueno pieces (for topping): The crowning glory—add them just before serving for a wow factor.
How to Make Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu
Step 1: Whip the Cream
Start by pouring cold heavy cream into a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the cream until soft peaks form—this means it should hold its shape but still look billowy when you lift the beaters. Don’t over-whip, or you’ll end up with butter! This is the secret to that plush, dreamy texture in every forkful of Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu.
Step 2: Make the Mascarpone Mixture
In another bowl, combine the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. If your mascarpone isn’t perfectly soft, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes—this helps it mix seamlessly with the other ingredients and makes for a much silkier tiramisu.
Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Work slowly and use broad, sweeping motions—folding instead of stirring keeps the mixture airy and cloud-like, which is exactly what you want for this indulgent Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu.
Step 4: Dip and Layer the Ladyfingers
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Working one at a time, lightly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee—just a quick dunk! You want them moist but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers along the bottom of an 8×8-inch dish, breaking a few if needed to fit snugly.
Step 5: Spread, Drizzle, and Sprinkle
Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and spread it into an even layer. Drizzle with half the melted chocolate hazelnut spread, then scatter half the chopped Kinder Bueno bars on top. This is where those magical pockets of creamy crunch come into play, setting this Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu apart from the ordinary.
Step 6: Repeat the Layers
Layer on the remaining coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the rest of the mascarpone mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula for a pretty, even finish. Cover the dish tightly and chill for at least 4 hours in the fridge—or, for truly impressive slices, overnight works wonders.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Just before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu flair. Garnish with extra Kinder Bueno chunks for a dramatic and utterly tempting presentation. Present your Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu with pride!
How to Serve Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu
Garnishes
For that extra wow factor, a final dusting of cocoa powder is a must. Add a few whole or broken Kinder Bueno pieces right on top just before serving—this not only looks stunning but gives every slice a little extra chocolate-hazelnut delight. A sprinkle of dark chocolate curls or toasted chopped hazelnuts will turn your Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu into an irresistible showstopper.
Side Dishes
Because this dessert is rich and indulgent, pair it with a bright, tangy fruit salad or a scoop of lightly sweetened whipped cream on the side. An espresso or macchiato is the perfect grown-up match, while tall cold glasses of milk or vanilla milkshakes turn Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu into a sweet treat for all ages.
Creative Ways to Present
Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu adapts beautifully to different occasions! For a party, assemble it as individual desserts in glasses or jars for adorable single-serve portions. If you’re feeling classy, use a trifle bowl and build dramatic layers. Or make dessert bars for a picnic—set, chill, and cut clean squares for easy serving on a platter.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Cover your leftover Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap or a well-fitting lid. It keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to three days, allowing the flavors to meld even more. If you plan to keep it longer, just hold off on the final cocoa dusting and topping until ready to serve.
Freezing
Need to prep ahead? You can freeze Easy Kinder Bueno Tiramisu—just wrap the dish well with a layer of plastic and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving, and add the final toppings after thawing. Note that the texture of the ladyfingers may soften slightly, but the flavor will still shine.
Reheating
This dessert is best served cold straight from the fridge, so reheating isn’t necessary. Simply slice, plate, and enjoy! If you’ve frozen the tiramisu, let it come to a chilled (not icy) temperature in the refrigerator before serving for the very best texture.
