Instructions
Crust:
Melt your butter and set aside.
Combine graham crumbs and sugar
Add melted butter and mix with spatula until all crumbs are wet.
Press each crust into your mini cheese cake pans/Muffin pans. For this recipe I used English muffin molds on a parchment lined baking sheet. I then lined them with parchment for ease of removal. See pictures.
Place the pressed crust pan in fridge to set as you prepare the filling
Cheese Cake Filling:
Sprinkle Gelatin to the cold water and set aside to set
Place Cream cheese packets into bowl and beat with mixer until smooth and creamy
Add powdered sugar, Vanilla, Salt. Then mix until well combined and smooth once again
Add Yogurt and fold into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Mix until smooth again
Take prepared crust from fridge
Pour/pipe or spoon a little of the filling around the edge of each prepared pan.
In the center of each crust place 2 to 3 frozen blueberries
Fill pans with remaining cream cheese Mixture.
Level off using spoon or spatula. Its okay if not totally even
Place cheesecakes in fridge to set for 3 to 4 hours to over night. I prefer overnight
Strawberry Sauce:
In a pot add strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice
Mix water and cornstarch well then add to pot
Place cot on medium heat and cook until strawberries soften up and the sauce thickens. Stir frequently
Remove form heat at allow to cool.
Plating:
For plating you can put the sauce on the cheese cake on each please. About 1 spoon. For me I decided to add a mango fluid gel and toasted shredded coconut just to give it a little bit more. Then I crumbled some left over crust over top. You are welcome to garnish as you please and plate as you please. Have fun with it!!!
