4 flavor cheesecake
In this recipe we will see how to make these mini cheesecake baskets that can be eaten in one bite.
They are very simple and quick to make, they are all made with the same biscuit crumble base, with a lemon flavored cheesecake cream and then decorated in 4 different ways:
- dark chocolate and cocoa nibs
- pistachio cream and chopped pistachios
- strawberries and blueberries
- Kiwi
Perfect for a summer snack with friends, fresh and beautiful to serve.
Method
Prepare the base.
Melt the margarine in the microwave or in a saucepan and transfer it to a bowl.
Finely chop the biscuits. You can use different methods: you can use a food processor, or put the biscuits in a bag, close it and beat with a rolling pin to break them, or break them into a bowl.
Pour the crushed biscuits into the bowl with the margarine and mix well with a spatula.
Take a 12-piece muffin mold and insert a paper muffin cup into each cavity.
In each baking cup add approximately 20 g of crumble (biscuits + margarine).
With a mini bowl (or with a teaspoon) press the crumble well so that it goes a little on the edges, thus we will be able to quickly and easily form crumble baskets.
Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
Once frozen, remove the baskets, carefully remove the paper cups, place the crumble baskets on a plate and store in the fridge.
In a bowl, weigh the spreadable cheese, milk, add the cream, add the lemon juice.
Beat with an electric whisk or in a planetary mixer with the whisk, at medium speed, for a couple of minutes.
The cream must be well whipped and stable.
Then transfer it into a pastry bag.
Prepare everything needed for the 4 decorations.
Wash the fruit. Cut strawberries and blueberries in half.
Peel the kiwi, cut it into slices and slice in half and then into 4 triangles.
Melt the dark chocolate in a bain Maria or in the microwave and transfer to a pastry bag.
Also transfer the pistachio cream into a pastry bag.
Also prepare the cocoa and pistachio nibs.
Top up the plate with the crumble baskets.
Fill each basket with a dollop of cream, approximately 25-30 g.
Then start decorating, cut the tip of the bag with chocolate and decorate 3 baskets, before the chocolate solidifies add a little cocoa nibs.
Decorate 3 baskets each with 4 kiwi segments.
Decorate another 3 baskets with a spiral of pistachio cream and chopped pistachios.
Finally decorate the last 3 baskets each with 1 half strawberry and 2 half blueberries.
The baskets are now ready to be tasted.
