Tasty Mini cheesecake is very simple to make, very delicious and the small portion makes it a guilt-free dessert. Cheesecake is a heavenly , delicious dessert and a universal favorite of many. My recipe for the plain classic cheesecake posted some time ago received great reviews and has been an all-time favorite dessert at our home.
The only cons of the classic cheesecake preparation are that it requires a spring foam pan and some cumbersome steps, like placing the pan in a hot water bath to maintain a constant temperature. Naturally, when I found this simple and easy recipe for mini cheesecakes, I wanted to try it out, and it turned out perfect.
How to make Mini bite size cheesecake?
For tasty mini cheesecake preparation we need muffin or cupcake trays, digestive biscuits or graham crackers, cream cheese, sugar, and eggs. There are recipes for mini cheesecakes which include sour cream and lemon juice to enhance the taste but this one is very simple with minimum ingredients and turns out really good, maybe I will experiment with other ingredients next time.
The best part is the portion control, as they are miniature and a good excuse to indulge in these delicious goodies without guilt! With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, this is a great treat for all the mothers and to celebrate Mother's Day. Please read on for the detailed recipe and I will be glad to hear if you try it out. Have a great Mother's Day weekend and enjoy your time with loved ones.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 ½ cups Marie's biscuit About a packet of medium sized Marie's biscuit .Graham crackers or digestive biscuits or wafers can be used as well.
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp butter melted and cooled
For the filling
- 2 packets Philadelphia cream cheese 2, 8 oz packets at room temperature
- ⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 deg F.
- Line the cupcake pan with liners.
- Powder the biscuits to a smooth powder in a food processor or mixer.
- Add sugar and melted butter and mix well.
- Put a teaspoonful of the mixture into the cupcake liner and press it down with a shot glass or spoon .Try to level as much possible.
- Using a stand mixer beat the cream cheese till it is smooth .
- Add sugar and vanilla and beat well till it is combined.
- Add one egg at a time and incorporate . Do not beat for long after adding the egg.
- Using a ice cream scoop spoon the cream cheese equally into the muffin tray.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. I took out mine at 20 minutes.
- The batter will rise and will look jiggly on top. On cooling it will level down. If you over bake it will crack on top .So make sure to take it out at the right time.
- Cool it completely outside on a cooling rack .Refrigerate overnight to get that special and unique taste .
- Garnish with whipping cream ,fruits of your choice like strawberries, blueberries or black berries.
