I’m always on the hunt for the best snack – and I recently discovered delicious mini cheesecakes! They are transportable, sweet, filling, and most importantly delicious! They kind of remind me of a muffin, because it certainly looks like one of these, but these guys have a cheese-cake-like kick to them and I am definitely hooked!
I have to be honest as I can’t take the credit. I’m on vacation and I’m visiting my parents in Montreal for the week. If you recall I was here just six months ago during the winter. I think it’s the ideal place to have some serious R & R, as you can see below.
Anyhow, my mother found the recipe and shared where she found it after I inhaled a few upon my arrival. Yes, they are that good.
Surprise Surprise! Only the late @norene_gilletz would come up with such a great recipe like this. MealLeanIYumm! has been in publication for more than 20 years and it’s always a winner in my house. It’s no wonder that you are able to find the best snack – these fabulous mini cheesecakes in there.
The ingredient list is short and although it takes some preparation if you are making the Yogurt Cheese. I have to say, it’s so worth it!
If using Yogurt, place in a strainer lined with a paper coffee filter. Place over a bowl and let drain for 3-4 hours. The result will be 1/4 cup of Yogurt Cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Beat cottage cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream or Yogurt Cheese, eggs, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix until blended.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Fill each container with 3/4 of the mixture. place muffin pan into a larger pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan to come up halfway up the sides of the muffin pan. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes, just until set. Cool at room temperature. Cover and chill for several hours or overnight.
You can top each mini cheesecake with any fruit topping you like!
