Kinder Bueno is a delightful chocolate and hazelnut snack which is marketed at kids ("kinder" is German for children), but is enjoyed by adults in equal measure. Part of this reason is its light chocolate wafer shell, not too cloying for an adult palate. Once you break into that shell, you are rewarded with a creamy hazelnut filling which is sweet, but still fluffy enough to not make you wince at the calories. This oneHOWTO copycat version of homemade Kinder Bueno filling is easy to make (much easier than scooping out individual Kinder Bueno pieces with a tiny spoon) and can be used in a range of different desserts.

We'll start our homemade Kinder Bueno filling by arranging the ingredients. You could make an alternate version with milk or dark chocolate, but it won't be like the kinder original. Besides, we already have lots of other chocolate recipes to choose from like some delicious chunky Australian rocky road.
For a truly authentic taste, ensure you select high-quality hazelnuts and fresh ingredients. This will make a noticeable difference in the final flavor and texture of your filling.
You will need a blender or food processor for this recipe, trying to finely chop or mash by hand will be very difficult. Put the hazelnuts and the sugar in the processor and process for a few minutes until you get a creamy paste, similar to how you would make a homemade peanut butter.
It's important to pause occasionally and scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure all the mixture is evenly blended. This step ensures a smoother paste.
Continue our homemade Kinder Bueno filling by adding the cornstarch, vanilla essence, and salt. Slowly process on a low setting and add the oil little by little.
Incorporating these ingredients gradually helps maintain a balanced consistency, resulting in a filling that is rich yet light. Adjust the vanilla essence according to your preference for a more personalized taste.
Once you have an even consistency, add the white chocolate and pour the milk in the same way you added the oil.
Using good quality white chocolate can enhance the richness of the filling. Gently melting the chocolate beforehand can also help it integrate more smoothly into the mixture.
Keep processing until you get a thick creamy paste, just as you would have with the filling for a real Kinder Bueno.
Achieving the right consistency might take a bit of patience, but it's worth the effort. If needed, adjust the thickness with a little extra milk or a sprinkle of cornstarch until it reaches the desired texture.
Once your homemade Kinder Bueno filling is ready, you can use it to fill pretty much whatever you like. You can use it as a spread for a sponge cake sandwich or even stuff it into chocolates like these delicious chocolate bonbons.
