Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie – Gooey, No-Bake Bliss in Every Bite

I’ll never forget the first time I had a Kinder Bueno bar. I was 13, on a family trip to Italy, and stopped at a tiny market in Venice where the chocolate aisle looked more like a jewelry case. I picked one randomly, and unwrapped it mid-walk — only to realize I’d just tasted magic: that creamy hazelnut filling, the light-as-air wafer, and rich chocolate melt. Fast-forward to today, and it’s still my top guilty pleasure.

So naturally, when I started experimenting with no-bake desserts, I knew I had to build something around that same flavor. Enter: the Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie — a no-bake, gooey masterpiece that captures everything I love about Kinder Bueno in the softest cookie base imaginable.

This is the kind of dessert you bring to a party and suddenly you’re everyone’s favorite person. It’s ridiculously easy, absolutely decadent, and honestly? Kind of dangerous to have in your fridge.

What Is a Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie?

Think of it as a cross between cookie dough, Kinder chocolate, and rich truffle filling — all nestled into a pie dish. The base is made from a thick cookie dough mixture using crushed biscuits, butter, and brown sugar, then folded with chunks of Kinder Bueno bars and a creamy hazelnut center.

Some versions bake it, but I much prefer this no-bake Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie. You still get that buttery cookie taste without losing the softness or crisp of the Bueno bar itself.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need a handful of pantry staples and, of course, Kinder Bueno bars. Here’s what makes this dessert shine:

• Crushed digestive biscuits – or graham crackers for the base texture
• Unsalted butter – for richness
• Brown sugar – adds depth and chewiness
• Hazelnut spread (like Nutella) – acts as the creamy binder
• White chocolate chips – for contrast
• Kinder Bueno bars – chopped, folded, and layered throughout
• A pinch of salt – to balance the sweetness

If you’re craving something fruity after this, give Strawberry Cheesecake Dump Cake a go — it’s another super simple winner.

How to Make it

Making this pie takes less than 30 minutes, start to fridge. Here’s how:

1. Crush your biscuits. A food processor works best, but a rolling pin and zip bag will do.
2. Melt the butter and stir it into the crushed biscuits with the brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
3. Fold in half the chopped Kinder Bueno bars and white chocolate chips.
4. Add hazelnut spread and mix gently until it comes together like a thick dough.
5. Press the mixture into a lined pie tin or tart pan.
6. Top with more Kinder Bueno chunks and a drizzle of melted chocolate.
7. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.

You can also portion these into muffin tins for a Mini Caramel Flan Cups vibe — just cookie-based and chocolate-loaded!

No-Bake vs. Baked Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie

I’ve tested both styles. The no-bake version wins for me because:

• It preserves the crisp texture of the Bueno bars
• It’s easier and faster
• It’s way gooier
• It doesn’t dry out (baked versions often can)

That said, if you want a firmer texture, you can bake it for 10–12 minutes at 325°F. But if you’re here for indulgence and ease, no-bake Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie is the way to go.

Tips for the Best Texture

Here’s how to make sure your Cookie Pie turns out perfect:

• Don’t overmix. Especially after adding the chopped bars — they’ll break down.
• Use room temp butter. Melted works for pressing into the base, but soft is best for a fluffier result.
• Chill overnight. It sets beautifully and cuts cleaner.
• Cut with a warm knife. Run your blade under hot water, then slice for clean, gooey layers.

Bonus tip? Try a swirl of Chilled Lemon Cream Cheesecake Bars flavor into the base for a citrus twist — I’ve done it and wow, it works!

Kinder Bueno Cookie Pie Variation

Want to put your own twist on it? Try these:

• Mini Cookie Pies: Use a muffin tin for individual treats.
• White Chocolate Version: Sub dark chocolate chips for white.
• Nut-Free: Swap hazelnut spread for cookie butter.
• With Ice Cream: Top slices with vanilla or caramel gelato.

Or go full extra with a drizzle of caramel, a pinch of sea salt, and a side of Super Moist Orange Cake — for that chocolate-orange high.
