A creamy, refreshing little cheesecake made in individual cups. Itβs simple, delicious, and perfect when you want a quick dessert without turning on the oven. π
π₯£ Ingredients
For the base:
- 1 cup digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- Β½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- β cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the berry topping:
- 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
π©βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the biscuit base
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix them with the melted butter until evenly combined.
2. Fill the dessert cups
Divide the biscuit mixture between 5β6 small serving glasses or cups. Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon.
3. Make the creamy filling
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and completely smooth.
4. Add the cheesecake layer
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit bases. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
5. Prepare the berry topping
Place the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 5β7 minutes, stirring gently, until the berries soften and release their juices.
6. Cool the topping
Remove from the heat and allow the berry mixture to cool completely. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
7. Add the berries
Spoon the cooled berry topping over each cheesecake cup.
8. Chill
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the cheesecake becomes nicely chilled and firm.
9. Serve
Serve straight from the refrigerator, optionally decorated with a few fresh berries. ππ«β¨
β Tip
For the smoothest texture, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. You can also prepare these the night before and keep them refrigerated until serving.
