Happy Valentine’s Day my lovelies!
Here are some interesting facts about this holiday for you to start off this day of the right foot. Haha!
I am not sure if these facts are true, but they are certainly fun! What do you think?!
You probably won’t be surprised, but I was really inspired to make a cheesy *literally* dessert to sweeten up the day of love. My choice fell on the mini cheesecakes! Mostly because they are very easy and quick to prepare, and they do not require to be cooled overnight. Which means that you can still make them for your loved one *or yourself! Why not?!?!*
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 2/3 Oreo baking crumbs
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 2 (8 ounce) package Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 natural vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together Oreo baking crumbs, sugar, and butter with a fork until combined. Measure a rounded tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing firmly. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 5 minutes, then remove to cool. Keep the oven on.
- Beat together the cream cheese,sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in the eggs.
- Poor the cream cheese mixture into the muffin cups, filling each until 3/4 full. Bake at 325 degrees F for 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan before removing. Refrigerate until ready to serve and decorate.
Voila! Enjoy!
