How to make Caramilk cheesecake cups
- 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.
- Melt Caramilk chocolate in the microwave and set aside.
- Mix cream cheese until smooth, then add vanilla and melted Caramilk and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream.
- Then add whipped cream to Caramilk cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
- Taste test for sweetness, adding confectioners sugar if required.
- Divide biscuit mixture evenly between four glasses.
- Spoon or pipe Caramilk cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base then decorate with reserved biscuit crumbs and pieces of Caramilk Twirl.
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.
