Mini Cheesecakes

The Famous Pacific Dessert Company Gourmet Raspberry –Lime Mini Cheesecakes

 

crust:

1 - 5 oz Box The Famous Pacific Dessert Company Key Lime Decadence Tea Cookies

1 - 5 oz Box The Famous Pacific Dessert Company Raspberry Decadence Tea Cookies

 

filling:

2 – 8 ounce blocks cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 1 /2 teaspoons vanilla

 

topping:

1 1/2 cups The Famous Pacific Dessert Company Raspberry puree

1 /4 cup reserved cookie crumbs

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

A mini cheese cake pan that is Teflon lined is used the way it is. A cupcake pan should use paper / foil liners. (The size is about the same)

 

For the crust grind the lime and raspberry cookies together in a mini processor or even in a small baggie with a rolling pin. Remove 1/4 cup of the crumbs and reserve for topping. Divide remainder of the crumbs evenly into the bottom of the cups/liners and press down.

 

To prepare the filling blend in a small mixing bowl the cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla. Fill the muffin liners with the mixture. Bake for 15-17 minutes.

 

Cool the cheesecakes in the muffin tin. Remove when cooled to a serving platter.

 

Gently warm the raspberry puree in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Spoon a generous amount (1 tablespoon) over each mini. Dust with reserved cookie crumbs.
