75mlDouble cream
1tsp Vanilla extract
Decoration

Instructions
Start by making the cookie cups
Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan oven).
Lightly grease a cupcake or muffin tray with butter.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and two sugars together until creamy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
Fold in the flour and salt until the mixture comes together and forms a cookie dough.
Take 2 heaped tablespoons of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place in one of cupcake tray holes. Repeat this until all the cookie dough has been used up, you should get 9 cookies in total.
Bake for 14-16 minutes until golden around the edge, but the middle is still pale, soft and under-baked.
Remove from the oven and immediately use the base of a small jar (or the back of a teaspoon) to press down the middle of each cookie to create a well.
Leave to cool completely in the baking tin.
Make the cheesecake filling
Mix the cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth.
Add the double cream and vanilla extract and whisk on high speed until the mixture is thick, smooth and holds its shape.
Fill the cookie cups
Fill the base of each cookie cup with a teaspoon of caramel.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top.
Break the milk chocolate up into a bowl and melt in the microwave until smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate on top of each cookie cup.
Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes. Slice and serve!
