INGREDIENT BOTTOM CRUST
- 150 gr crumbled cookies (half Bastogne, half vanilla biscuits)
- 70 gr melted boter
INGREDIENTS FILLING
- 1 split egg
- 250g cream cheese
- pinch of salt
- vanilla pod
- 75g sugar
- 20ml lime juice (half of a lime)
INGREDIENTS GARNISH
- small strawberries and raspberries
- 125ml cream
- half cup mascarpone
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C. For the bottom crust, fill the muffin tin with paper liners. Crumble the cookies (in foodprocessor or punch them in a plastic bag) and add the melted butter. Mix until it forms a beautiful mass and fill the paper trays, each with one tablespoon of the cookie mixture. Gently pressing with a spoon. Put in the fridge to harden.
- For the filling, beat the eggwhites with a pinch of salt with a mixer until firm. Add the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lime juice and mix further until smooth. Finally, add the egg yolks and whisk further by hand with a whisk. When the mixture is smooth fill the muffin cups evenly. Bake in oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool after baking and leave overnight in the fridge.
- Garnish: whisk the cream until it’s semi-stiff, then add half a cup mascarpone and icing sugar and beat more rigid. Garnish the cheese cakes with whipped cream mixture and strawberries and raspberries. You can vary with different sorts of fruit and/or chocolade shavings. Enjoy!
