Mini Cheesecakes

Chocolate Truffles

Method

Mini Cheesecakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of mini cupcake liners to form a crust.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Pour the cream cheese filling over the crusts. Bake for about 20 minutes or until set. Let them cool before removing from the liners.

Chocolate Truffles

  1. 4

    Melt the chocolate

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.

  2. 5

    Chill the mixture

    Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for about 2 hours, or until firm.

  3. 6

    Form truffles

    Using a melon baller or your hands, scoop out the chilled chocolate mixture and roll into balls. Then, roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat.

Fruit Tartlets

  1. 7

    Fill the tartlets

    Spoon pastry cream into each tartlet shell, filling them generously.

  2. 8

    Top with fruit

    Arrange mixed fresh fruits on top of the pastry cream.

  3. 9

    Glaze the tartlets

    Heat apricot jam in a small saucepan until melted. Brush over the fruit to give a nice glaze.
