Prepare the crust

6 to 8 Bourbon biscuits
Transfer the biscuit crumbs into a bowl and pour the melted butter and mix until well combined.
1 tablespoon melted butter
Divide the crumb mix into 2 or 3 serving glasses. Use a flat-bottomed cup that easily fits into the serving glass to press the crust flat.
You can chill this crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or until the cream cheese mix is ready.
Prepare the cream cheese mix
Whisk the softened cream cheese cubes on medium-high speed until smooth. Whisk in the condensed milk, labneh and zest until everything is combined into a smooth mixture.
Divide the filling into the chilled crust serving glasses evenly and smooth the top with a spoon. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled.
Serve
Before serving, top with bourbon biscuits, or any chocolate toppings. Dig into the cream cheese-rich cheesecake and enjoy a romantic dessert.

Notes
Cream cheese blocks: Avoid using spreadable cream cheese. If using the Almarai squares, unwrap them and then let them come to room temperature.
Labneh: You can replace this with sour cream or Greek yoghurt
Toppings: You can add anything of your choice, like chocolate syrup, jams or preserves, nut butter, ganache, etc.
