1. Line a mini mu�in tray with mini mu�in cases.

2. The Kingston Biscuits become the mini ch�secake base so to separate the biscuits,

microwave for 20 seconds so that the chocolate centres melt enough to a�ow you to twist the

biscuits apart easily. Chocolate should remain on BOTH sides of the biscuit once the

biscuits are twisted apart.

3. Unfortunately the Kingston biscuits are a tiny bit t� large for the mu�in cases we had

so use a knife to trim the biscuits if you n�d to, so that you can fit one biscuit per case.

Set aside the crumbs which can be used for to�ing if desired. Set aside while you make the

fi�ing.

4. In a bowl, use an electric beater to blend together the jar of lemon bu�er and the jar of

cream ch�se until nice and sm�thy.

5. Sp�n even amounts on top of each Kingston biscuit base. Fr�ze for several hours or

overnight until set.

6. Serve by p�ling each mini ch�secake from pa�y cases and sprinkling the Flake

chocolate or the left over biscuit crumbs on top of each mini ch�secake.
