Ingredients:
- 16 Graham cracker cookies (or Maria cookies)
- Powdered milk (to taste, for the crust)
- Unsalted butter, melted (microwave for 15 seconds)
- Granulated sugar (to taste)
- 1 large egg
- Vanilla extract (to taste)
- Fresh lime juice (1 teaspoon)
- All-purpose flour (to taste)
- Plain Greek yogurt (to taste)
- Red berry jam (for topping)
How to make mini cheesecakes:
- Start by crushing the 16 cookies into fine crumbs. Add powdered milk to taste to help form a moist crust when mixed with the melted unsalted butter. Adjust the amount of granulated sugar to your preference.
- For the filling, mix the granulated sugar, 1 egg, vanilla extract, lime juice, all-purpose flour, and plain Greek yogurt. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Assembly: Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of individual molds, creating a firm base. Pour the cream filling over the base, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 15 minutes. After this time, the center may still look slightly soft, which is necessary for the perfect texture. Let them cool, then refrigerate for approximately 4 hours for the cheesecakes to set perfectly.
- After chilling, remove the mini cheesecakes from the refrigerator.
- Give them a gentle tap on the counter to settle and remove any air bubbles. Unmold carefully and admire these little treasures.
- Finish by topping with the red berry jam and decorating as desired.
