Mini burnt cheesecake
These easy mini burnt cheesecakes or mini basque cheesecakes are just like your favorite burnt cheesecake but in super cute individual serves.
Equipment
- muffin tins or silicon molds for 14 mini cheesecakes
- baking paper or muffin cases
- Electric hand beaters or stand mixer
Ingredients
- extra butter, for greasing
- 2 x 8 ounce tubs (450gms total) full fat cream cheese
- ¾ cup (165gms) white sugar
- 2 tablespoons (20gms) tapioca starch or corn starch
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (250mls) thickened cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest half a medium sized lemon
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Make sure you have room in your oven for the high baking paper edges if using. Pre-heat your oven to 435°F (225°C/205°C fan-forced)
- Zest and juice the lemon. Line the tins with squares of baking paper or muffin cases. If using baking paper put a dab of butter on the bottom to help keep them in place.
- Add the tapioca starch to the sugar and whisk through to evenly distribute.
- Add the cream cheese to a bowl or stand mixer and mix briefly to soften.
- The sugar and tapioca start in a couple of batches, mixing between each addition until it's all added. Mix on low until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
- Add the cream, lemon juice and zest, vanilla and salt and mix until smooth.
- Divide between muffin cases and bake for forty to forty five minutes until deeply golden brown and starting to turn very dark brown around the edges.
- Allow to cool completely to room temperature before serving.
- Serve at room temperature or a light, airy cheesecake or chill for a firmer, denser cheescake. Fabulous on their own or will one of my fruit compotes, curds or coulis. Delicious!
Notes
Storage:
In the fridge for up to three days for the best flavor and texture, but should be safe to eat for up to four to five days.
I am still freezer storage testing these cheesecakes and will report back when I know more!
