Ingredients You’ll Need
What I love about this Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake is how it’s built on just a handful of ingredients, but each one plays a vital role in the flavor symphony. No fancy extras—every scoop and splash is essential for that dreamy, creamy shake!
- Kinder Bueno Bars: The start of the show—these bring the sweet chocolate and hazelnut filling that gives the shake its signature taste. Don’t forget to save an extra bar for topping!
- Ice Cream: Vanilla ice cream gives this milkshake the creamy, luscious base that makes it thick and luxurious. Swap with chocolate or hazelnut ice cream for bonus flavor.
- Milk: Just enough to help everything blend, while keeping the shake rich. Use whole milk for extra creaminess, but you can go lighter if you prefer.
Variations
This Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake is totally flexible, so you can riff on it based on what you have or what you crave. Whether you want to shake up the flavors, lighten things up, or make it a totally over-the-top treat, here are some delicious ways to customize.
- Make It Mochaccino: Add a shot of chilled espresso or a spoonful of instant coffee for that cool, café-inspired edge—Kinder Bueno and coffee are a match made in dessert heaven!
- Dairy-Free Delight: Swap the ice cream and milk for your favorite plant-based versions. Almond or hazelnut milk and coconut ice cream are lovely here.
- Chocolate Lovers’ Dream: Use chocolate ice cream for a richer base or add a drizzle of chocolate sauce in the blender for an even more decadent twist.
- Nutty Crunch: Top with toasted hazelnuts or blend in a spoonful of Nutella for an extra burst of creamy hazelnut flavor.
How to Make Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake
Step 1: Prep Your Blender and Glasses
Start by placing your serving glasses in the fridge or freezer. This quick trick keeps the milkshake cold and thick for longer and makes every sip feel like a treat. Then, grab your blender and get ready for the magic!
Step 2: Add Ice Cream and Milk
Scoop your ice cream into the blender—don’t skimp if you love extra thickness. Pour in the milk, using just enough to help everything blend together. The thicker you want your shake, the less milk you should add at first.
Step 3: Chunk Up the Kinder Bueno
Break your Kinder Bueno bars into chunks (four pieces per bar is perfect) and add them to the blender. This way, you’ll get little flecks of those crispy, hazelnut-chocolate bites in every sip.
Step 4: Blend to Perfection
Blend everything for about 20 seconds—just until creamy and smooth, but not too long (over-blending can make it runny). Take a peek and check your consistency: add a splash more milk if it’s too thick, or a scoop more ice cream if you love a frosty, spoonable shake.
Step 5: Pour, Decorate & Enjoy!
Pour the Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake into your chilled glasses. Top with extra Kinder Bueno pieces, a spritz of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce if you’re feeling fancy. Sip right away for maximum creaminess and crunch!
Pro Tips for Making Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake
- Chill Your Glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for a few minutes to keep your milkshake extra frosty and slow the meltdown.
- Kinder Bueno Boost: For an even richer flavor, toss in an extra half bar or swirl a spoonful of chocolate-hazelnut spread into the blender.
- Thickness Tweaks: If your shake is too runny, add more ice cream (start with half a scoop at a time). For a thinner shake, blend in a splash more milk.
- Blend Just Until Smooth: Don’t over-blend—20 seconds is usually plenty! This keeps cute flecks of wafer and prevents the shake from thinning out.
How to Serve Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake
Garnishes
The right garnish turns your Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake into pure dessert art! I love topping mine with a swirl of whipped cream, extra Kinder Bueno chunks, and a cheeky drizzle of chocolate or hazelnut sauce. For a party moment, try chocolate shavings or a mini wafer straw sticking out of the glass.
Side Dishes
Though the milkshake is a star all on its own, it’s lovely alongside crisp biscotti, buttery shortbread, or a small bowl of salty nuts for contrast. If you’re going full dessert mode, serve it with brownies or warm cookies for the ultimate treat.
Creative Ways to Present
For special occasions, turn your Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake into a milkshake “freakshake” by piling high with toppings—think marshmallows, mini donuts, or even a whole Kinder Bueno on the rim. Serve in mason jars or tall sundae glasses with colorful straws for maximum fun!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
This shake is at its best fresh, but if you have leftovers, pop them into a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before sipping again, as it may separate slightly as it sits.
Freezing
If you want to save some for later, pour leftover Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake into popsicle molds and freeze for the dreamiest, creamy choco-hazelnut pops! You can also freeze the shake in a freezer-safe jar and thaw slightly before serving.
Reheating
No need to reheat—just let any frozen shake thaw at room temp for 5–10 minutes, give it a swirl, and enjoy as a semi-frozen treat. If stored in the fridge, give it a quick blend or shake before pouring into your glass.
FAQs
-
Can I use other chocolate bars instead of Kinder Bueno?
Absolutely! While Kinder Bueno gives a unique nutty creaminess, you can swap in Ferrero Rocher, Nutella B-ready, or your favorite milk chocolate bars for a new twist on your Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake.
-
How can I make the milkshake thicker or thinner?
If you want a thicker shake, add more ice cream; for a thinner, sippable consistency, simply increase the milk. You can blend and adjust as you go to find your ideal texture!
-
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
Yes, it’s wonderfully kid-friendly—just be sure to leave out any coffee if making for little ones. The Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake is a fun treat that’s perfect for birthdays or special occasions!
-
Can I make this milkshake in advance?
You can blend the shake ahead and store it in the fridge, but it’s honestly best served freshly blended. If you do make it in advance, give it a quick stir or shake before serving to restore that creamy consistency.
Final Thoughts
If the Decadent Kinder Bueno Milkshake isn’t already on your must-try list, it definitely should be! This creamy, chocolate-hazelnut shake is easy, fun, and guaranteed to make any day feel a little more special. Give it a whirl—you deserve every delicious drop!
