Mini Mango Cheesecakes

-

There are so many amazing bakers on Instagram.  I have so many favourite pages that I love following.  They are all inspiring and I love their baking creations.  One of my favourite's has to be @sugaretal.  Sonail Ghosh is an amazing photographer and baker.  If you haven't seen her page, you definitely need to go and have a look.

I was inspired by one of her posts for mini cheesecakes.  I have always wanted to make them.

I changed the recipe slightly.  I used Marie biscuits instead of digestive biscuits and I used pureed mangoes instead of peanut.

These mini mango cheesecakes are so easy to make and taste delicious.  The mango flavour is divine. If you add some strawberries, blueberries and mango puree on top when decorating them, you will not be disappointed.  They taste amazing.

Mini Mango Cheesecakes 

Ingredients

· 120 grams Marie biscuits
· 50 grams unsalted butter, melted
· 250 grams cream cheese
· ½ cup caster sugar
· 2 eggs
· ¼ cup sour cream
· 1 small mango, pureed

Decorations

· Strawberries
· Blueberries
· Mango puree

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

2. Place cupcake patty cases into a 12-hole cupcake tin.

3. Place biscuits into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbles. Add melted butter and mix until combined.

4. Evenly place the mixture amongst the 12 cupcake patty cases. Using the back of a spoon press the mixture down to form a crust. Refrigerate until needed.

5. Using an electric beater, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.

6. Add eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition. Fold in the sour cream and mango puree.

7. Pour mixture evenly amongst the 12 cupcake cases.

8. Bake in oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until just set (centre is still jiggly). Turn oven off and leave oven door ajar to allow the cheesecakes to cool to room temperature.

9. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Tips

· Do not over mix the cheesecake mixture as this can cause cracked tops when the cheesecake is being baked as there are too much air bubbles trapped.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Viennese Biscuits

These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.
