How do I make it?
- Grease and line 2 x 12-hole muffin tins.
- Blitz biscuits with a food processor to fine crumbs. Add brown sugar and melted butter and blitz to combine. Press mixture firmly into the muffin tins and refrigerate while you make the cheesecake.
- Using an electric mixer whip cream to stiff peaks stage, then set aside. In a separate bowl beat cream cheese and caster sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla dn beat until combined.
- Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to knock too much air from the cream.
- Spoon cheesecake mixture on top of the prepared bases then refrigerate overnight to set.
- To decorate, sprinkle with crumbled Flake and top with mini Easter eggs. Keep refrigerated until serving.
TOP TIP – if you have milk chocolate on hand you can shave or grate it to use instead of the Flake bars.
