  3. Fold in the cooled gelatine mixture until fully incorporated.
Preparing the Biscuit Base

Assembling and Setting
  1. Spoon the biscuit mixture over the cheesecake layer in the trays, pressing down firmly.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
Serving
  1. Lift the cheesecake bites from the trays using the baking paper and place them on a serving platter.
  2. Drizzle with golden syrup and serve.

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese. These bites can also be made dairy-free with suitable substitutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
