Mini Makes - Rainbow Cheesecakes

 

 

I often like to surprise the Mini Mes with small treats upon their return from their dad's house or school. Although I love to make things with them I find it quite relaxing to have the kitchen to myself to be a little creative on a Sunday afternoon and that's exactly when I made these quick individually sized vanilla cheesecakes.

 

There isn't any baking required so they are a great dessert if you don't have much time on your hands. You can take a few minutes to make them and then leave them to chill until required.

 

 

Rainbow Cheesecake

 

 

Ingredients

 

90g digestive biscuits

30g butter

180g soft cheese

45 icing sugar

90ml double cream

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

• Line 4 loose base tartlet tins (4" in size approx) with baking paper
• Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat
• Crush the biscuits in a bowl (I generally use the end of a rolling pin) and mix in the melted butter

 

 

• Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 tartlet tins and press down to level each one
• Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill while you move onto the next step
• In a bowl mix together the soft cheese, whipped double cream and vanilla extract
• Sift in the icing sugar to remove any lumps and combine

 

 

• Split the mixture equally and place on top of each biscuit base ensuring each is level
• Sprinkle over some hundreds and thousands to add some colour and texture
• Give them a tap to remove any air bubbles and replace in the fridge

 

 

• Leave for several hours until firm then remove from the tins
• Scoff!
