OMG, Dessert last night!!!!!!!!

Wow, I simply cannot believe how delicious dessert was last night. Berry swirl cheesecake! So easy to make, and omg, so delicious. It was such a huge hit at my dinner party last night. No biscuit on the bottom, but it sure tasted like it had, and the strawberry jam surprise at the bottom. Mmmmmm.....


I have included the recipe if anyone out there wants to try it also.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 140°C. Line twelve 80ml (1/3-cup) capacity muffin pans with paper cases.
  2. Process the ricotta, cream cheese, lemon rind and vanilla in a food processor until smooth. Add the egg and honey, and process until just combined.
  3. Divide ricotta mixture evenly among the cases. Top each with 1 teaspoon of jam and use a skewer to swirl. Bake for 20 minutes or until just set. Set aside to cool completely.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in fridge for 3-4 hours to chill. Top with berries.

Notes

  • Cook's tip: To test whether the cheesecakes are cooked, lightly touch the centres to see if they feel firm on top; the centres will gradually become firmer as the cheesecakes cool.



Enjoy! xoxo
