Remember the pavlova I wanted to whip up last weekend but didn't have the time to? Well, managed to make some today, the mini version. I didn't get it to be the shape they're suppose to be but oh heck, they taste good..And not to mention sweet..! The base is good on it's own albeit a tad overcooked..
And errrmmm cupcakes anyone..?

Here's the cheesecake recipe I whipped up a couple of days ago. It's actually a cherry cheesecake but I substitute it with blueberry jam..
| 125g digestive biscuits |
| 75g soft butter |
| 300g cream cheese |
| 60g icing sugar |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice |
| 250ml double cream |
1 jar Black Cherry Spread
|
| 1. | Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until beginning to turn to crumbs, then add the butter and whiz again to make the mixture clump. |
| 2. | Press this mixture into a 20cm springform tin; press a little up the sides to form a slight ridge. |
| 3. | Beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. |
| 4. | Lightly whip the double cream, and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture. |
| 5. | Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula. Put it in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight. |
| 6. | When you are ready to serve the cheesecake, unmould it and spread the black cherry over the top. |
Note: Jam might be a tad sweet for some, so spread it sparingly. I also used whipping cream instead of double cream.
