Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 200 g Digestives
- 100 g Unsalted Butter/Stork ((melted))
- 450 g Full Fat Cream Cheese
- 115 g Caster Sugar
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 200 g Milk Chocolate
- 60 g Golden Syrup
- 60 g Unsalted Butter
- 4 Shredded Wheat
- Mini Eggs/Golden Eggs
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 170C/150CFan and line a Muffin Tray with 12 Muffin/Cupcake cases.
- 2
Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb and add the melted butter – pulse a few times until it is combined well.
- 3
Split between the cupcake cases, and press down firmly into the bottoms of the cupcake cases that you use.
- 4
With an electric mixer (I used my KitchenAid) Mix the Philadelphia until smooth, it’ll only take a few seconds! Then, add in the Caster Sugar and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- 5
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl/jug and gradually pour them into the mix whilst still beating the mixture together, making sure each incorporation of egg is mixed in before adding more!
- 6
Spoon the mixture across the 12 cases and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. It’s better to slightly underbake then overbake these, so there should still be a sliiiight wobble in the middle!
- 7
Leave them to cool in the tin completely, then refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or overnight.
- 8
Whilst they are cooling and setting in the fridge, make your nests. Line a Muffin Tray with another 12 Muffin/Cupcake cases (same size as the ones you used earlier!).
- 9
In a large bowl add the Chocolate, Golden Syrup and Butter. On a LOW heat, melt your mixture in the microwave and stir at 1 minute intervals. (Or melt in the bowl over a pan of simmering water)
- 10
Once melted, crush up your 4 shredded wheats and mix together. Spoon into your cupcake cases so they’re even, and then press down making it slightly lower in the middle.
- 11
Add 3 Mini Eggs/Galaxy Golden Eggs into the dips, and leave to set for as long as the cheesecakes.
- 12
Once both parts are set, remove your cheesecakes from their cupcake cases, and remove your nests from their cases. Add a nest per cheesecake, and ENJOY!
