Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup (about 100 g) crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Kinder Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 6–8 Kinder chocolate bars (regular Kinder chocolate, not Bueno), chopped
  • ½ cup Kinder chocolate (about 4 bars), melted and slightly cooled

For Topping (Optional but Recommended):

  • ½ cup cold heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2–3 Kinder bars, chopped for garnish
  • Optional: extra melted Kinder or chocolate drizzle

Instructions

Prep the Pan
Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix crushed biscuits, sugar, and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Divide the mixture among the 12 liners (about 1–1½ tablespoons each).
Press firmly with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass to form an even crust.
Bake for 5–7 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
Beat in the egg until just combined (don’t overmix).
Add sour cream (or yogurt) and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
Stir in the melted Kinder chocolate until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the chopped Kinder pieces so they’re evenly distributed.

Fill the Liners
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly over the pre-baked crusts, filling each liner about ¾ full.

Bake
Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 16–20 minutes, or until the centers are mostly set but still have a slight jiggle in the very middle.
Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecakes sit for about 10 minutes to help prevent cracking.

Cool and Chill
Remove the pan from the oven and let the mini cheesecakes cool completely at room temperature.
Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Make the Topping
In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.

Serve
Once the cheesecakes are chilled and firm, carefully peel off the liners.
Top each mini cheesecake with a swirl of whipped cream and a few chopped Kinder pieces.
Drizzle with melted Kinder or chocolate if desired. Serve chilled.

Tips for Success

Room-Temperature Cream Cheese – Prevents lumps and makes the filling super smooth.
Don’t Overbake – A little jiggle in the center is good; they firm up as they cool.
Chill Fully – The texture and flavor are much better after several hours in the fridge.
Kinder Choices – You can mix regular Kinder bars inside and use Kinder Bueno pieces on top for extra crunch if you like.

Why This Recipe Works

Baking cheesecake in mini portions means faster baking and easier serving, with less risk of cracks. The combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and melted Kinder chocolate creates a rich, velvety filling that still feels light thanks to the milky chocolate flavor. The simple biscuit base adds buttery crunch and balances the sweetness.

Topping them with whipped cream and extra Kinder pieces gives each mini cheesecake a bakery-style finish—cute, creamy, and loaded with chocolate. These Mini Kinder Cheesecakes are perfect for Kinder fans and anyone who loves a fun, bite-sized dessert.

    In a bowl, combine crushed biscuits, sugar, and melted butter. Divide mixture among liners and press firmly to form a crust. Bake 5–7 minutes, then let cool slightly.

    Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and mix just until combined. Mix in sour cream (or yogurt), vanilla, and melted Kinder until smooth. Fold in chopped Kinder pieces.
  • Fill and Bake
    Divide the batter evenly over the crusts, filling each about ¾ full. Bake 16–20 minutes, until mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center. Turn off oven, crack door, and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Cool and Chill
    Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
    You can skip the whipped cream and just top with extra chopped Kinder for a simpler version.
    Use a mix of Kinder and milk chocolate if you want a stronger chocolate flavor.
    These are great for freezing—chill until firm, then freeze on a tray before transferring to a container.
