Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • ½ batch vanilla pastry cream (approximately 350 grams or 12.3 oz.)
  • 100 g roasted hazelnuts* (¾ cup)
  • 20 g soft brown sugar (1 ½ tbsp)
  • 50 g white chocolate, chopped (⅓ cup)

Optional, for a lighter cream

  • 100 g double (heavy) cream (½ cup)

Instructions
 

  • Make ½ batch of vanilla pastry cream (crème patissière), full recipe and ingredients can be found here. Only make ½ of the recipe indicated on the card (half of the ingredients).
  • Place the roasted hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor or blender. Pulse them until they turn into a paste. You can adjust how crunchy or smooth you prefer it by processing it less or longer in the food processor. Set aside to use later.
  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in short intervals of 15-50 seconds. In between each interval give the chocolate a mix to help it melt quicker. Once fully melted, let it cool down to room temperature (about 20 minutes).
  • Add the hazelnut paste and melted white chocolate to the pastry cream. Use a hand mixer to combine everything really well, then set it in the fridge to chill before using.
  • Optional: for a lighter cream, whip up some double (heavy) cream to stiff peaks. Incorporate it into the Kinder Bueno cream for a lighter texture and creamier flavour.

Notes

  • I recommend using a kitchen scale in grams for more accuracy. The cups used for the conversion are standard US customary cups (1 cup flour = 136g). There are many different types of cups across the globe, which is why I strongly recommend using grams instead. 
  • One batch of Kinder Bueno cream is enough to fill a 3 layer 8-inch cake or to decorate 12 cupcakes. One singe serving of cream is roughly 45g or ⅓ cup.
  • If you only have raw hazelnuts, roast them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes. Rub the hazelnuts between your palms to remove some of the skins, or you can just leave them on.
