About our mini cheesecakes recipe
Our recipe for Mini Cheesecakes is a great way to impress guests and not have the challenge of getting a large cheesecake to set. We've topped the Mini Cheesecakes with a simple fruit compote (raspberries and mango) but you could just as easily top with fresh strawberries or even chocolate.
This recipe allows you to make the Mini Cheesecakes using a muffin tin and muffin cases, they are exactly the right size and make it easy to turn out the finished cheesecakes. Serve as part of a sweet buffet or summer party on a tiered cake stand.

Method
Step 1:
Mix together your Giggles mix, melted butter and sugar and press firmly into loose-form cheesecake tins (can make 6-8 mini versions or 1 large).
Step 2:
Whisk together your cheeses, cream, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy (easiest with an electric mixer). Lightly stir through your flour and lemon zest and juice until combined.
Step 3:
Pour into tin/s and bake in pre-heated 180 oven until firm on top and only slightly wobbly (approx 35 minutes for one large cake and 15-20 minutes for small versions). Turn oven off and leave to cool in the oven to prevent sinking.
Step 4:
Decorate with raspberries and natural yoghurt and a drizzle of raspberry coulis!
