    Ingredients

    ingredients for mini strawberry cheesecakes

    Mini cheesecakes are so easy to make, and I make them often because they are great to keep in the fridge for after dinner, or even as a mid afternoon snack if those sweet cravings come on.  Whilst strawberry is most popular with my family members, I love these Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes and these Mini Mocha Cheesecake bites.

    For something that tastes like summer, I go for Mini Lemon Cheesecake bites.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Digestives: I use the โ€œGullonโ€ brand of sugar free digestives. Both Woolworths and Aldi have Sugar Free Digestives. Alternatively any type of plain sugar free cookie or shortbread would work
    • Cream Cheese: Light cream cheese is perfectly fine to use for mini cheesecakes and its what I tend to use, however feel free to use full fat cream cheese for a super rich creaminess.
    • Strawberry Jam: There are many varieties of strawberry jam in the supermarkets, many of which have loads of sugar added. However there are several sugar free strawberry jams that are naturally sweetened. My preferred brand to use is St Dalfords. They have a whole range of different jams that are naturally sweetened and the strawberry one tastes lovely.
    • Sweetener: Its ideal to use a powdered sweetener when making no bake cheesecakes to avoid any grittiness. I love using Lakantoโ€™s powdered sweetener that is very similar to fine caster sugar, but without the calories.
    • Dairy Whip: this is the secret ingredient that gives these mini strawberry cheesecakes a lightness. Dairy whip if the cream in a pressurized can. I buy the โ€œliteโ€ version. Be sure to shake thoroughly beforehand and it comes out quickly. You only need a little to really life this dessert to make it light and creamy.
    • Sugar Free Chocolate: Buying a bar of sugar free white or dark chocolate is the easiest things to do and you only need a small amount of chocolate โ€“ no need to buy a family block. Whilst I prefer white chocolate drizzled on top, dark chocolate is also another great option if you canโ€™t find white.

    How To Make

    Making the Base (if you have a food processor)

    • Add digestives to food processor and blitz to a crumb (about 40 seconds)
    • Add melted butter and blitz again for 20 seconds. You may need t scrape down the sides of the food processor in between to get it all mixed in.
    • Using a 12 hole silicone mini muffin tray, spoon base mixture into muffin openings, pressing down with fingers. Making sure the base goes up about half way up. Set aside and make the filling.

    * If you donโ€™t have a food processor for blitzing the biscuits into a crumb, instructions are included in the recipe card below for making the base without a food processor.

    Making the Filling

    • Add room temperature softened cream cheese to a clean mixing bowl, along with the dairy whip, strawberry jam and sweetener. Thoroughly mix with a spoon, pressing out any lumps. Taste mixture for sweetness. Add additional Jam or sweetener to taste.
    • Spoon filling onto cheesecake bases, pressing in to make sure there are no air bubbles. Use the back of a knife (the flat side) to smooth over the top of the muffin tray so cheesecake tops are flat.
    • Cover and refrigerate overnight or for 8 hours.

    Recipe Tips

    • Removing from muffin molds:  To remove from the muffin tray, use a butter knife to go around the edge of the opening to loosen the cheesecake, and the gently remove, placing onto a wire rack or tray for decorating. (It helps to wipe the knife in between getting each cheesecake out as it will help to retain the shape)
    • Storage:  Store in an air tight container in the fridge for 7 days

    How To Decorate

    • Melt sugar free chocolate in the microwave until only โ€œjustโ€ melted. (You donโ€™t want it too hot or it will slide off the cheesecakes. 
    • From a height, use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate back and forth in a zig zag pattern over the cheesecakes.
    • Add diced strawberries on top

    Extra Decorating Tip

    I also added crushed freeze dried strawberries sprinkled on top. Freeze dried fruits are usually packaged in an air tight packet and are hard.

    You can rehydrate them with water, or as I did, crush them and use for decoration. They tend to have a concentrated flavour which works perfectly with the fresh strawberries, strawberry jam and white chocolate
