Kinder Bueno Cupcakes

I don’t know about you but Kinder Buenos are one of my all time favourite sweets; the crispy wafer, the hazelnut filling and the chocolate. YUM! So of course I had to make these into cupcakes. These Kinder Bueno Cupcakes have a chocolate cupcake, white chocolate hazelnut buttercream, a Kinder chocolate drizzle and are topped by of course, a Kinder Bueno.

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes

  • 145 g Unsalted Butter or Stork
  • 145 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 120 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 25 g Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Medium Eggs
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Buttercream

  • 400 g Icing Sugar
  • 200 g Unsalted Butter
  • 200 g White Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
  • 3-4 tsp Whole Milk

For the Chocolate Drizzle

  • 100 g Kinder Chocolate

For the Decoration

  • 3 Kinder Bueno Bars

Instructions

To Make the Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners and leave to one side. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the flour, cocoa powder, eggs, baking powder and vanilla and whisk until all combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the cupcake liners. I use a small ice cream scoop to do this so I know that they are all even.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You will know the cupcakes are ready when they are golden brown and springy to touch.

To Make the Buttercream

  • In a bowl add the icing sugar and butter and mix until it is combined. Add in the White Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and mix again. If you find the buttercream is too thick add 1tbsp of milk and mix again. Repeat until the buttercream is the perfect consistency.
  • Add the buttercream to your piping bag and pipe onto the top of the cupcakes.

To Make the Chocolate Drizzle

  • Add the chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between until it is completely melted and smooth.
  • Put the chocolate into a piping bag with a small round nozzle or if you are using disposable piping bags snip the end off.
  • Drizzle over the top of cupcakes.

To Decorate

  • Cut the Kinder Buenos in half and add too the top of your cupcakes.
