Kinder Bueno Cake

This cake is a celebration of the marriage between hazelnut spread and mascarpone. Mascarpone's neutral, creamy richness is the perfect carrier for intense hazelnut flavour without being overly sweet. The crispy wafer bars on top provide a textural contrast to the soft cream.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the cream become runny?
You overbeat the mascarpone. High-fat cheeses should only be mixed until just combined, otherwise the whey separates.
