Step by step
Get ahead
Make the day before you want to take them on a picnic. They will keep in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- Heat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with deep paper or silicone cases.
- Pulse the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor; combine with the butter and press into the base of the cake cases. Bake for 10 minutes; leave to cool for 10 minutes.
- Place all the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, into a bowl and whisk to mix. Stir in 50g of the chocolate chips then spoon the mixture into the cases. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top; bake for 15 minutes until just set.
- Allow to cool, then chill in the fridge (they might sink slightly).
