From my kitchen to you, I bring you my "post" Chinese New Year treat. Nothing Chinese or Asian about it really. As Chinese New Year draws to a close and with an entire week filled with over indulgence at reunion lunches & dinners, has left me yearning for small, light, creamy, fluffy melt in the mouth individual MINI BLUEBERRY & LEMON MARBLED CHEESECAKE. Like that is ever going to help right? But hey! my friends and I used to joke that we have two stomachs. As long we hear those magic words "Dessert anyone?", our eyes lit up like twinkling Christmas lights and suddenly all those feeling of not being able to ingest another food is gone. Sometimes, I'm glad that my groupie shares the same love with me. Otherwise, I will likely feel like a little piggy in that dark cold corner..LOL.
The blueberry marbled cheesecake is complimented with a crunchy blend of gingersnaps and buttery shortbread cookies for the base, with each zesty lemon creamy cream cheese is then swirled with generous amount of homemade blueberry maple jam. Instead of the regular whole cheesecakes I made in the past, I decided that everyone should have their own ones. For the dessert lovers in my family who wants to go for second and third helpings, they certainly can have it without the guilt.
Next, I am happy to announce that
Vanille Magazine: Issue 3 in English is finally out. Do stop over, browse through as there are heaps of amazing mouth watering recipes with gorgeous photography from Vanessa and collaborators. We truly appreciate all the support given and ill certainly continue to come up with more amazing posts.
As for the MINI BLUEBERRY & LEMON MARBLED CHEESECAKE recipe, click
here for the cheesecake &
here for the blueberry maple jam. I always stick to my trusty chilled cheesecake recipe and switching it up by adding lemon zest, vanilla bean adding the top with blueberry maple jam and made swirls to mix both the mixture together. The recipe yields approximately 24 medium sized individual cheesecakes.
Enjoy the rest of February and I will be back soon with new treats!

ReplyDeleteHey Stephanie! They were really good. I am not a calorie tracker kind of person, so once a while is okay right? :P

Hi Gina! I sure hope to be able to visit SF soon again. Really missing you bunch of ladies and there is so much to catch up on. Won't mind baking for you anytime too. ♥
DeleteJo, another stunning dessert! I have a weak spot when it comes to cheesecake and your mini-marbled versions are exquisite! Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! How're you? My family has a thing for cheesecakes and I have been trying to steer away. LOL.. not working at all. I sure hope that I will have some time to make other treats real soon. Thanks for the constant support!!! Much appreciated. ♥
DeleteHey Jo!! How are you my friend? I hope you've had a lovely Chinese New Year. I miss the food and receiving 'ang paus' - lol!! Oh gosh these little cheesecakes, they are so cute and looks absolutely scrumptious. Your photos are great too, not many people can make plain paper cups look good!
ReplyDeleteHi Jaime! How're you? It's been so long we last chat. HAPPY CNY and may this year be filled with good health and prosperity!!! When are you coming back to KL? Buzz me ok? Thanks for the support too. ♥
DeleteJo, what a devil you are when it comes to these evil treats hee..hee....These mini cheesecakes are so gorgeous and I am now on my post CNY diet. As long as you don't dangle the cheesecakes in front of me I'll be fine or else I will cave in to temptation. Sigh......
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can substitute with low fat ingredients? How does that sound? Or maybe one tiny one won't hurt at all? LOL..
DeleteDo you write over at Vanille Magazine?
ReplyDeleteThese mini cheesecake bites look so tempting...I bet I can eat several of these in one sitting...
Love, love, your mini cheescake...so cute, yummylicious, and totally adorable! Your themes are always so perfect with all that you make, and spend such quality time putting them together:)
