Description
No Bake Mini Blackberry Cheesecakes are the epitome of summer sweetness. Each bite is a perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and tart blackberry preserves, all resting on a buttery graham cracker crust. These mini treats are not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes with their vibrant purple hue topped with fresh blackberries.
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 sleeve (9 crackers, 140 grams) graham crackers
4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
12 ounces (340 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (180 grams) heavy cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup (80 grams) blackberry preserves
For the topping:
1 cup (145 grams) blackberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Blackberries, for garnish
Instructions
For the crust: Thoroughly grease a mini cheesecake pan. Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add in the melted butter and pulse until moistened. Divide the mixture among the cavities of the cheesecake pan, about 1 heaping tablespoon in each. Firmly press into the bottom of each cavity (a shot glass or other small object makes easy work of this). Set aside.
For the cheesecake: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed until creamy and well combined. Add in the cream, lemon juice, and preserves and continue beating for 2 to 3 minutes, until well combined and thickened, with a texture similar to frosting. Divide the mixture among each cavity and cover with plastic wrap.
Chill until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. The cheesecake can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
For the topping: Combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of a blender or food processor and pulse until pureed. Top each cheesecake with a dollop of the sauce. Garnish with more fresh blackberries. Serve.
