Ingredients

Base

  • 1 cup Crushed Sugar Free Digestive Cookie/Biscuit crumbs
  • 3 ½ tablespoons Unsalted butter melted

Filling

  • ½ cup Cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup Light/low fat Dairy Whip
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar Free Strawberry Jam
  • 2 teaspoons Powdered Sweetener

On Top

  • Sugar Free White or Dark Chocolate, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Diced fresh strawberries

Instructions

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.

Making the Base (without a food processor)

  • Add digestives into a ziplock bag and seal. Lay flat on counter, placing a towel over the top. Use a can or rolling pin to roll back and forth to crush the digestives.
  • Once you have the crumbs, empty into a mixing bowl along with the melted butter. Mix the butter in until a et cookie crumb is formed.
  • 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.

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.

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)

Decorating

  • Melt sugar free chocolate in the microwave until only “just” melted so that it won't 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

Storage

  • Store in an air tight container in the fridge for 7 days

Notes

  • Digestives: I use the “Gullon” 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 Lakanto’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 “lite” 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 – no need to buy a family block. Whilst I prefer white chocolate drizzled on top, dark chocolate is also another great option if you can’t find white.
