Easy Individual Strawberry Cheesecakes are a no-bake dessert that is quick and easy to make with ingredients you have in your panty. Ideal to treat your family or to quickly put together for unexpected visitors.
The biscuit base contains cocoa for a delicious chocolately taste, cover this with sweetened cream cheese, and top with strawberry jam and a swirl of whipped cream for an easy individual dessert.
An ideal recipe for caravans, campervans, and students!
You need very little equipment to make the Individual Strawberry Cheesecakes.
- Plastic bag
- rolling pin or something heavy (book?) to crush the biscuits
- bowl or a mug to melt the butter, mix the cheesecake mix and whip the cream (or use canned whipped cream)
- spoon and a fork (if whipping cream)
- Silicone cupcake cases or ramekins
- A refrigerator or cool box
I made these little desserts when I was working from a temporary kitchen in my utility room. My cooking equipment consisted of my Slow Cooker, a single electric ring, and a microwave. Baking was off the agenda with these temporarily limited kitchen facilities, so a no-bake dessert was perfect.
Make the biscuit base
It’s easy to make the crumb base for the cheesecakes. Simply crush the biscuits (cookies) add a little cocoa powder to the crushed biscuit crumbs and mix with the melted butter. Press into the cupcake cases and chill until set.
What kind of cupcake cases do you use?
I use silicone cupcake cases because they hold together well and are easy to remove. However, you could press the crumbs into a paper case supported in a muffin tin.
Make the cheesecake
When the biscuit mixture is chilled and firm, mix together the cream cheese and sugar. Then divide it between the biscuit filled cupcakes.
What kind of jam should I use to top the cheesecakes?
I use strawberry jam but you can use any jam that you have available. If you have some strawberries you can follow this easy recipe for Small Batch Seedless Strawberry Jam because homemade jam is always nicer.
Serving Suggestion
Serve the Easy Individual Strawberry Cheesecakes as they are or top them with whipped cream.
Whip your own double cream and spoon or pipe on to. Or use a can of ready whipped cream to make a swirl on top just before serving.
What do they taste like?
The Individual Strawberry Cheesecakes are really delicious, they are not too sweet and just a perfect mini dessert.
