Recipe Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing with sugar.
For the base you can use crushed shortbread or Nice biscuits, and for another variation add ½ cup of desiccated coconut to the biscuit mix.
You can line the base with Maltesers, then pour the filling on top and bake as per recipe.
You could also sprinkle the cream with flaked chocolate instead of nutmeg.
