Today I'm whipping up an absolute dream in my kitchen: the Bueno layered cup dessert. With its crunchy cookie base, velvety mascarpone-hazelnut filling, and topped with Kinder Bueno pieces, it'll win anyone over. It's a treat that doesn't just taste heavenly but looks stunning too.
What makes it stand out
The mix of textures turns this sweet into a real experience. The crispy base, silky cream, and sweet garnish work together beautifully. In my home, it's always the highlight of any gathering, yet also works as the perfect pick-me-up when you need a little comfort.
What you'll need
For my take, I use 150g butter cookies and 50g melted butter for the base. I create the cream from 250g mascarpone, 200ml whipped cream, and 50g powdered sugar. Then 4 tablespoons of hazelnut spread and 4 Kinder Bueno bars make it irresistible. Chopped hazelnuts add that extra bit of crunch.

Foolproof steps
First, I finely crush the cookies, mix them with melted butter, and spread this in glasses. I whip the mascarpone with powdered sugar until creamy, then fold in stiffly beaten cream. I carefully blend in the hazelnut spread and fill the glasses in layers. Finally, I top it off with chopped hazelnuts and Bueno chunks.
For those special times
What I really love about this dessert: it looks amazing and you can make it ahead of time. It stays fresh in the fridge until serving time. My guests always go crazy for the different layers and rich flavor.
My twists
Sometimes I switch to chocolate cookies for the base or add chopped chocolate into the cream. A layer of melted chocolate makes it even more decadent. Toasted hazelnuts between layers or a splash of hazelnut liqueur can give this dessert a whole new spin.
Why you can't resist it
The Kinder Bueno topping just works perfectly. The crunchy wafer, creamy filling, chocolate coating – everything goes so well with the mascarpone cream and cookie base. It's truly eye-catching and doesn't disappoint on taste.

Perfect portion size
I prefer using glasses that hold about 130ml. This gives you just the right amount – not too much, not too little. This works great for buffets or parties since everyone gets their own individual dessert glass.
Keeping it fresh
This dessert stays good in the fridge for about two days. I always cover the glasses so they don't pick up other flavors. I add the topping just before serving to keep it nice and crunchy.
Fits any occasion
Whether it's a fancy dinner, kid's birthday party, or unexpected guests dropping by, this dessert always fits the bill. It's quick to put together, looks fantastic, and wows both adults and kids. It's a real all-rounder in my dessert collection.
Enjoy responsibly
I like using reusable glasses or small mason jars. They don't just look great but can be used for other things after the dessert is gone. It's a stylish way to enjoy your treats while thinking about the planet.

Lighter options
Sometimes I make a lighter version using reduced-fat mascarpone or quark. You can also cut down on sugar or use natural sweeteners like agave syrup. Fresh fruits as topping make it fruitier and less heavy.
