    How to make Caramilk cheesecake cups

    1. Place biscuits into a food processer and process into fine crumbs, reserving some crumbs for decoration. Then add combined melted butter and light brown sugar and process until mixed, then set aside.
    2. Melt Caramilk chocolate in the microwave and set aside.process shots showing how to cook recipe
    3. Mix cream cheese until smooth, then add vanilla and melted Caramilk and mix to combine.

    7. Divide biscuit mixture evenly between four glasses.
    8. Spoon or pipe Caramilk cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base then decorate with reserved biscuit crumbs and pieces of Caramilk Twirl.images showing process of how to make recipe

    My top tips for making this recipe

    • The glasses I have used in the photos are 400ml (approx 1 ⅔ cup) capacity.
    • I have used pure cream (35% milk fat with no thickeners added), but any kind of cream will be fine as long as it can be whipped (you may need to check the package).
    • I have included icing/confectioners sugar as an optional ingredient because I find the Caramilk cheesecake mixture sweet enough without it. But, having said that sugar can be a bit like salt in a recipe like this in that people's preferences can vary a lot. This is why I suggest that you put it in last, so you can have a taste test first.

      Could these be made the night before? 😊 I plan to make these this weekend and super excited! But will try in a trifle bowl instead of mini cups

        Sure Bridget! Just keep it well covered in the fridge. The trifle bowl sounds like a great idea too!
