Mini Lemon Mascarpone Cheesecakes
Let’s jump right into the deliciousness! These mini cheesecakes are like little sunshine shots that you can pop in your mouth. They’re creamy, dreamy, and oh-so-lemony!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 8 oz of mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup of stevia (or more for those with a sweet tooth!)
- 1 cup of whipped cream (light and fluffy, like a cloud!)
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons (because lemons are nature’s way of giving us a punch!)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs (for the base that gives it pizzazz!)
- 1/4 cup of melted butter (to hold it all together in a buttery hug!)
Instructions to Follow:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (or 175°C if you’re fancy like that).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until it resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottoms of cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Bake for about 10 minutes and then let it cool. Cool, baby, cool!
- In another bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese, stevia, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla until it’s as smooth as a jazz tune. You want it silky!
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, because we want these cheesecakes to be light and airy – like your spirit on a Friday evening!
- Pour the creamy mixture over the cooled crusts and spread evenly. Channel your inner cupcake artist here.
- Chill them in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but let’s be honest – overnight is the real deal if you can wait that long! Patience is a virtue, right?
- Once chilled, garnish with extra lemon zest on top to give it the glam it deserves!
Voilà! You now have the cutest little mini lemon mascarpone cheesecakes that are bound to impress everyone – even Aunt Mildred who claims she’s seen it all! Serve them up at your next gathering or just indulge because why not? Life is short, enjoy the cheesecake!
