Blueberry Swirl Mini Cheesecakes

Описание: 🍴 Serves: 4
⏱ Prep Time: 10 min | Bake Time: 15–18 min

🛒 Ingredients:
• 200 g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 80 g (⅓ cup) sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 100 g (3.5 oz) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp sugar (for the blueberry swirl)
• 4 small shortbread cookies (for the base)
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• A few crushed cookie crumbs for topping

👩‍🍳 Preparation:

1️⃣ Prepare the blueberry swirl:
In a small saucepan, heat the blueberries, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp sugar. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the berries burst and release their juice. Slightly mash and set aside to cool.

2️⃣ Make the cheesecake batter:
Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.

3️⃣ Assemble the mini cheesecakes:
Place a shortbread cookie at the bottom of each lightly greased muffin mold or mini ring. Pour the cheesecake batter over it. Add a spoonful of blueberry sauce and swirl gently with a toothpick.

4️⃣ Bake:
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 15–18 minutes, until set around the edges but still creamy inside.

5️⃣ Serve:
Let cool completely, then top with fresh blueberries, crushed cookie crumbs, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve chilled for the best texture.
