Kinder Bueno Tiramisu

Kinder Bueno Tiramisu is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, incorporating the beloved Kinder Bueno chocolate bars into its layers for a unique and indulgent treat. This recipe combines the creamy, coffee-infused essence of traditional tiramisu with the crunchy, hazelnut flavors of Kinder Bueno bars. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

For the Cream:

• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Assembly:

• 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
• 2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur or coffee liqueur (optional)
• 1-2 packages Kinder Bueno bars, depending on size, roughly chopped
• 1 package ladyfingers (about 24 pieces)
• Cocoa powder, for dusting
• Kinder Bueno bars, whole or chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Cream:

1. Beat Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale and creamy.
2. Add Mascarpone: Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

1. Combine Coffee and Liqueur: In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee with the hazelnut or coffee liqueur (if using).
2. Soak Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them too long, and lay them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish or a similar serving dish.
3. First Layer of Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.
4. Add Kinder Bueno: Sprinkle a generous layer of chopped Kinder Bueno bars over the cream.
5. Repeat Layers: Add a second layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream mixture, and another layer of chopped Kinder Bueno.
6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
7. Before Serving: Dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and garnish with additional Kinder Bueno bars, whole or chopped.

Tips:

• Serving Dish: You can also assemble the tiramisu in individual serving glasses for a more personalized presentation.
• Coffee Strength: Adjust the strength of the coffee to your liking. Stronger coffee will give a more pronounced flavor.
• Chilling Time: Allowing the tiramisu to chill overnight will enable it to set properly and enhance the flavors.

Kinder Bueno Tiramisu offers a creative and delicious take on the traditional dessert, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a chocolatey, coffee-infused delight.
