NewsSharing Our Recipes Courtesy of Patricia Bolger MINI EGG CHEESE CAKE (NO BAKE) This week “The Big Guy” has already eaten a whole Mini Egg Cheesecake. After counting the number of Mini Eggs he has eaten, I should be watching for a fluffy tail and long rabbit ears to be sprouting soon. It was definitely a sweet hit and I’m already thinking of how to make individual cheese cakes that I can just pull out of the freezer for a quick dessert. I found this recipe at thebusybaker.ca and then promptly halved the ingredients so I could make a smaller version for the two “long-sweet-toothed” hungry seniors at my house. The next time I make this cheesecake, I think I will make them in cupcake papers as you can easily keep them frozen for 2-3 weeks. When you shop, make sure you buy the full-fat cream cheese and the regular whipped topping as the fat-free and low-fat versions are cut with additional water and you will find the cheesecake will not set as nicely. Enjoy! |  |
