Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Crush the biscuits until fine and mix with melted butter and castor sugar. Press into cupcake liners.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add castor sugar and lemon zest until fluffy.
  3. Add whole eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides for even mixing.
  4. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold dry mixture into the creamed batter until just combined.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for about 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Prepare frosting by mixing cream cheese, sugar, and milk.
  7. Once completely cooled, pipe the frosting on each cupcake.
