Cheesecake Mini's with LunaGrown Jam

I have a passionate love for cheesecake as many around the world do. Occasionally i'll enjoy a slice of cheesecake if dining out, as a treat. Personally I choose not to keep a whole cheese cake in the house. The temptation would be too much. Too much for me anyway.

We love this recipe at LunaGrown, it's simple to make, these little treats are very tasty, and it makes a big impact when given as a gift or at any kind of social gathering. A bit of jam on top, perhaps some crushed nuts, or shredded chocolate and you have become the neighborhood gourmet!

This recipe is intended to be used for creating these cheesecake mini's. I have not tried this recipe in a spring pan, and would assume anyone who owns a spring pan already has a favorite recipe. The corn starch may be omitted for those that are watching the gluten, however your cheesecakes will be less creamy.

When it comes to the right jam to choose, I can only suggest you pick a favorite! If these are to be served as part of a dinner course rather than as a dessert, I would suggest considering the items served prior and post when choosing.

I sincerely hope you take a moment to whip these up for some one special in your life!

Make These For Someone Special in Your Life.
