3) Place muffin cases in muffin tin and add a few teaspoons of buttery biscuit into each case, pressing down firmly to make sure they’re combined.
4) Bake for 10 minutes at 180°C fan and leave to cool.
5) While the base is cooling, add the cream cheese, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, eggs and sour cream to a large bowl in that order, whisking together between each addition.
