Delicious Mini No-Bake Cheesecakes
I decided on making this dessert for my next blog post because I had made more savory dishes previously and thought it would be a good idea to switch it up! This recipe caught my eye because the vibrant colors from the fresh berries made the dish look very appealing. The dish was fairly easy to make because there was no baking time involved, however there was time that you had to chill certain parts of the dish; about 40 min total. The cheesecakes involved the components of a graham cracker crust, a sweet cream cheese layer, fresh berries, more cream cheese and topped off with even more berries!
The way I served them to my family were in cute little mason jars, the perfect serving size. Rachel Hollis had mentioned in her book that "serving a classic dish in small individual portions is an easy way to reinvent your favorites" (Hollis 15). I tried to make the dessert presentation even more adorable by adding a drizzle of raspberry liqueur on top of each cheesecake to compliment the fruit flavor already in the dish. This dish was so simple but made me realize like Rachel had said you can do anything beautifully with style (Hollis 5).
What kind of cheesecake do you guys prefer?

Yummmm - those look delicious. I actually love cheesecake and recently made two different versions of lemon cheesecake for a friend's birthday. I've been really into putting lemon curd on the top of cheesecake - yum, yum, extra yum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. Robison, I too enjoy cheesecake a lot! I actually have never had a lemon cheesecake but i'm going to have to try it out now!
DeleteLemon cheesecake is just basic cheesecake with lemon zest (yum) and lemon juice (fresh squeezed) and that lemon curd on top: making me hungry already. Here is one recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/26332/lemon-cheesecake/. I haven't tried that one in particular, but...you get the idea.
Deletethey look really delicious and fun to make can the recipe be tweaked to my own liking and still get the same taste?
ReplyDeleteIt was very tasty! I'm sure you could substitute certain ingredients to fit your tasting if you like, it would just depend on what you were hoping to tweak. I don't think you would get the same taste if you changed a major ingredient in the dish.
DeleteHi Sienna, all your posts are so interesting and all the food that you make looks amazing. I have always wanted to make cheese cake but when you do the baking process it would take too long to bake. A no bake method is a really easy and fast way to make cheese cakes. I prefer a matcha cheese cake since they are not too sweet and has that smell of green tea.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I'm really glad that you've been enjoying my posts. I also loved this recipe because it wasn't as time consuming as a regular cheesecake that requires baking time. I've never tried matcha cheesecake but if it tastes anything like matcha kit kats, I'm sure I would love it!
