Individual Cheesecakes Recipes

MINI CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line muffin tins with 12 paper baking cups. Place a vanilla wafer in each one.
• In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice, and sugar. Beat until smooth and thoroughly combined.
• Fill each baking cup 2/3 full with cream cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on a rack. Top with fruit pie filling. Pipe whipped cream or sweetened cream cheese into a rosette on top of each cheesecake just prior to serving, if desired.

INDIVIDUAL PUMPKIN CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups, from 2 12-cup muffin tins, with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
• Beat the cream cheese, granulated and brown sugars and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the eggs until combined. Beat in the half-and-half and sour cream until smooth. Use a spatula to stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Divide the batter evenly among the cookie-lined cups (the cups will be very full).
• Bake until the filling is just set and a knife inserted into the center comes out moist but clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in the pans on a wire rack and then refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Top each with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crystallized ginger before serving.

MINI CHEESECAKES FROM PHILADELPHIA®

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix graham crumbs, 2 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottoms of 18 paper-lined muffin pan cups.
• Beat cream cheese, remaining 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crusts.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Beat whipping cream with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; spread gently onto cheesecakes. Top with blueberries and lemon zest.

MINI LEMON CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Mix all of the cheesecake ingredients together (the cream cheese, lemon, icing sugar and double cream) make sure it is well mixed, and you are getting lots of air into the mixture. Also make sure the lemon juice and rind is mixed in evenly into the mixture.
• Heat up your butter until it is melted (either on the hob or in the microwave).
• Mash up your biscuits into tiny pieces and put them in a bowl and mix in your melted butter.
• Press your biscuit base into moulds (you can use cake cases or no mould, but I find it easier to use one than not).
• Pile your cheesecake mix on top of the biscuit base in each mould, smoothing down the mixture on top and then leave in the fridge until serving (leave in the fridge for a minimum of half an hour, as the cheesecake is much better when served cool). When they are ready to serve, simply pop them out of the moulds, and enjoy!

INDIVIDUAL CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Fill 9x13 pan with water and place on lower rack of oven.
• Combine cream cheese with sugar, beat until fluffy.
• Add whole eggs, then beat until smooth.
• Add egg yolks, beat again until smooth.
• Add vanilla, lemon juice, lemon juice, sour cream and flour, beat until smooth.
• Using large serving spoon, fill individual graham cracker crusts with batter.
• Place filled crusts on a baking sheet, and place on middle rack of oven. Cook approximately 50 minutes, until firm. Remove from oven, cool on wire rack. Top with topping of your choice- fresh or frozen fruit, warmed jam, or canned pie filling (I like strawberry or blueberry). Another option is to make a "turtle" cheesecake, with a layer of caramel sauce on the bottom of the crust before filling with the batter, then when cooked cheesecakes are not quite cool, spread the top with warmed hot fudge sauce, thin lines of caramel sauce (ice cream topping works great), and then chopped pecans or walnuts.
