Description

This is very simple no bake, 2 bowls and one pan mini cheesecake recipe that tastes incredible!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust

  • 250 grams digestive biscuits
  • 1/4 cup unsalted (melted butter)
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar

Filling

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cream (whipping regular cream)
  • Rind of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbps blueberry compote (see notes for alternatives)

Instructions

Crust Method

  1. Break the biscuits (crackers) till fine crumbs.
  2. Add sugar and butter, stir together and press into the cupcake pan and bake on 180 for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and let it cool.

Filling

  1. Mix the filling ingredients except the cream.
  2. Beat the cream using a hand held mixer. Don't over-beat, just stiff enough so that it doesn't fall if you try to turn the bowl side-ways. It must be stiff.
  3. Now mix the whisked, stiff cream into the rest of the filling ingredients. Fold together.
  4. Use a spoon to add equal parts to the crust that should be cool enough. Add coconut flakes, chocolate pieces and bits of lemon rind on the top for decor.
  5. Leave in the freezer for 3 hours to overnight.

Notes

  • For the full recipe on how to make a berry compote you can take a look at this recipe here otherwise here's a basic recipe outline: 
  • Heat the berries in a pan and add sugar, lemon rind, juice and a little water. Let it all simmer till it reaches a thicker consistency depending on how thick or thin you want it. Once cooled, you can use it for baking, pancakes etc. It also stays nice and fresh for a couple of days in the fridge. 
  • The berry compote adds a beautiful light enough flavor and give off the pretty pink color. 
  • The longer it stays in the freezer the better it tastes. You will have to take them out a couple of minutes before serving because the will be frozen. 
  • They taste amazing!
