as in "Oh my goodness cold" in Wales lately...
Clearly all I want to do is skip lectures and stay snuggled under my duvet with a hot mug of coco watching the new episode of "An American Horror Story".
If you haven't started on the series yet you MUST.
I intended to post this recipe 2 days ago but got caught in a zombie movie marathon and trying to sort out my Halloween costume. Aw...and listening to the new Puscifer album.
I miss Tool.
I understand Maynard tho. I don't particularly want Merkin Vineyards but would love to have a bakery and hide myself in the basement between bags of chocolate and cinnamon sticks writing recipes in a trance.
So yeah...Mini baked cheesecakes.
This is an oldie but goodie. They are slightly addictive so I suggest you keep them hidden away from everyone and enjoy them yourselves.
For 6 minis you are going to need:
250gr cream cheese at room temp
1/2 cup (110gr) caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 eggs
6 biscuits for the base (preferably small ones)
Strawberry Jam Or the can be served with berries and icing sugar on top but come one....who says no to strawberry Jam...
(ps: If you double the ingredients it should give you about 16 minis)
1) Preheat the oven to 180 celcius and line 6 large muffin pans each with two paper cases (trust me you DO need two) and place a biscuit in the base of each muffin case pressing down firmly. If you want your cheesecakes looking pretty use fancy animal print cases as the outside ones *wink
2) Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time (this may get messy)
3) Top the muffin cases with the cream cheese mixture. Try not to fill all the way to the top as they will rise slightly when baked
4) Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly risen (or risen a lot if your oven is fan assisted like mine ) and just begin to crack a little on the surface. Do not panic if they rise to much, once they cool down they will sink back in
5) Set aside for 30 mins to cool down and then grab that yummy jam and give it a good spoonfull on top
And voila!
You'll have a hard time keeping anyone out of your fridge....believe me.
That's it for now.
Love
Kitty
