Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g butter biscuits
  • 50 g butter
  • 3 sheets of gelatine
  • 350 g cream cheese double cream level
  • 100 g cream
  • 100 g mascarpone
  • 80 g sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Some lemon zest
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Start by preparing a muffin tin with 12 cavities. Use a food processor to finely chop the butter biscuits into crumbs.
  2. Make the Biscuit Base: Melt the butter and mix it well with the biscuit crumbs. Spoon a tablespoon of this mixture into each cavity and press it down firmly with a spoon to form the base.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cream, mascarpone, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Dissolve the Gelatine: Squeeze the soaked gelatine and dissolve it gently over a hot water bath. Take a few tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture and mix it with the gelatine until fully combined. Then, fold this mixture into the rest of the cream cheese filling.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared bases, ensuring to leave a small border at the top for the chocolate layer. Freeze for approximately 2 hours.
  6. Make the Chocolate Topping: Finely chop the dark chocolate and melt it gently with coconut oil over a water bath. Mix well until smooth.
  7. Top the Bites: Once the cheesecake filling is firm, carefully pour the melted chocolate over the bites and return them to the freezer for about 10 more minutes.
  8. Final Touch: Remove the bites from the molds and let them thaw in the refrigerator for about an hour. Ta-da! You have exquisite Cheesecake Bites ready to impress!
