  • 395 g can sweetened condensed milk
  • 60 ml thickened cream
For the Base
  • 280 g Dutch spiced biscuits (speculaas)
  • 50 g butter, melted, cooled
For Serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease two 12-hole 40ml ice cube trays and line each one with strips of baking paper.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine water and gelatine, let sit for 2-3 minutes, then microwave for 20 seconds until warm and dissolve.
  3. Using electric beaters, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Add condensed milk and thickened cream, mixing until well combined. Then, pour in the cooled gelatine mixture.
  4. Spill the mixture gently into the prepared ice cube trays and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until almost set.
Making the Base
  1. In a food processor, blend the Dutch spiced biscuits until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and mix again.
  2. Spoon the biscuit mixture on top of the cheesecake layer and press down gently with the back of a teaspoon.
  3. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until fully set.
Serving
  1. Use the parchment strips to lift the cheesecake bites from the trays and arrange them on a platter.
  2. Drizzle with golden syrup before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen, just thaw before serving. Let ingredients sit at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
