I watch carefully where I buy my cheesecake. It needs to be very fresh, fluffy and incredibly smooth. The combination of cheesecake and white chocolate cream is to die for. To tell you a secret, I had some filling left, so I made my baked no crust cheesecake of 12 cm with some frozen raspberries, and I loved it even more. 2 alternatives to go, so yummy!
Individual Cheesecake Cupcakes are suitable for kids from the age of 3. Offer in the afternoons with a cup of tea of milk. Yass!
Total Time: 1 hour + few hours to chill The Cupcakes
The Crust
In a blender mash the cookies until you have a smooth texture. Secondly, stir in the butter and mix until well combined.
Lightly grease your cupcake form or individual cupcake baskets and equally divide the mixture. Smoother with your fingertips and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until golden.
The Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl ease the quark and add sugar to combine. Afterwards, yogurt in. Stir.
Next, start adding the eggs. First on low speed until incorporated, then, increase the speed to the highest and give it a good stir.
Finally, add the lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Give it a last stir and divide equally onto The Crust, up to 2/3rd of their volume. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until The Cheesecake Cupcakes are firm in the middle.
*If you have some filling left, try to make my easy no crust raspberry cheesecake: in a lightly greased form (I used a round spring form of 12 cm), pour the filling in. Sprinkle with 1 handful of raspberries and place in the oven. The baking time depends on the size of your form, I had to bake for about 30 minutes until firm in the center.
Take all The Cheesecake Cupcakes out and let them cool down on a wire rack. Once cooled down, refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
White Chocolate Frosting
First, in a steam bath melt the chocolate. Let it cool down for a bit.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl ease the butter. Add a pinch of salt and gradually stir in the sugar. Mix for about 1-2 minutes on high speed until it is fluffy and smooth. Taste.
Next, pour in the double cream and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir to combine and taste. Mold The Frosting into a piping bag and decorate The Cheesecake Cupcakes accordingly to your mood.
