Notes

* Ginger nut biscuits can use. Mandarin or lemon essence instead of vanilla ess.
I prefer to use SCOTCH FINGERS.
* Can use ricotta cheese. Really nice if making the continental version.
OR use CHOCOLATE (PLAIN) BISCUITS for BASE.
Then cover cheese cake with whipped cream & grated dark chocolate. 😊
