Ingredients

US Metric

• 10 oz Chocolate (dark or milk)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
• 1/2 cup Chopped hazelnuts
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 12 Chocolate cups or molds

Directions

1.

Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.

2.

Prepare the molds: Using a spoon, coat the inside of each chocolate cup or mold with a layer of melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.

3.

Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and hazelnut spread. Using a hand mixer, whip until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

4.

Fill the cups: Remove the chocolate cups from the refrigerator. Gently spoon the whipped hazelnut filling into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

5.

Add the topping: Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts on top of the filling in each cup, pressing them down slightly to ensure they adhere.

6.

Finish with chocolate: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the tops of the filled cups to seal in the filling. Return the cups to the refrigerator and allow them to set for at least 30 minutes.

7.

Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cups from the molds, and enjoy your Kinder Bueno Chocolate Cups as a delightful dessert!
