Mini Blueberry Cheesecake

-
Cheesecake is the most popular dessert in my family.  When we have cravings,  these individual mini cheesecakes are all we need to feel satisfied. Topped with fruit jam, they look elegant, and taste fabulous.


I always use my 6 cup muffin pan to prepare these mini cheesecakes.  With one pack of 250g cream cheese, they are just the right portion sizes for my family. 

Use crushed Oreo biscuits and butter as the base.
 Top with cream cheese mixture. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes at 160°C.
 Cool and refrigerate for a few hours. 
When ready to serve, top with fruit jam. 

It's quick and easy. Bon appétit !

    Winnie,

    Thank you! Only get to know your blog now. It's a pity HTC stopped updating... A lot of good content. Will definitely revisit from time to time.

    What an easy and cute idea! I love the mini/individual size for portion control, plus it makes it easy for each person to have the topping they want. Thank you for sharing.

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of
