Preparation Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) or 140°C for a fan oven. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter, caster sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
  • Divide the crumb mixture among the muffin cups, pressing down to form a compact base. Bake for 7 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add flour, vanilla extract, sour cream, and caster sugar. Blend until fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the cheesecake filling among the cooled crusts. Bake for 20 minutes until just set in the center.
  • Cool the cheesecakes in the tin at room temperature for an hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Whip the thickened cream with icing sugar and vanilla extract until thick and fluffy.
  • Pipe or dollop whipped cream onto each cheesecake and garnish with fresh berries and mint sprigs.

Notes

For best results, chill cheesecakes overnight. Use fresh fruits for garnish to enhance appeal.
