Would you Eat Irresistible Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake Cups?
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup lemon juice
– 2 large eggs
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– Powdered sugar, for garnish
– 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
– 2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F 165 degrees C and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, ensuring you create an even layer.
4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until its smooth and creamy. Slowly blend in the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
7. Top each cheesecake cup with about 1 teaspoon of raspberry preserves.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the centers are set and the edges are lightly golden.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before enjoying.
10. Before serving, dust the tops with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
