2cm cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Sift flour into a large bowl and add the sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, egg yolks and butter. Mix with electric beaters until it comes together to form a dough. Flatten to a round disc and cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured work surface to a 5mm (1/4inch) thick, then using a 3cm round shaped cookie cutter, cut into discs. Pat into 2cm miniature cookies moulds and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • Combine cream, espresso powder and vanilla in small bowl; set aside. Using electric mixer beat cream cheese in large bowl until smooth. Gradually beat in remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar, then eggs 1 at a time. Beat in flour. Stir espresso mixture until powder dissolves; beat into cream cheese mixture. Pour batter over crust gently. Bake for 10 minutes until only set. Decorate with melted chocolate when cooled.

    Hey Ahmed, I had to check up on you to see what I may have missed, and I see I missed these amazing little gems...that is one mini-cheesecake to balance on your fingertip (and then pop into your mouth!)...what an adorable idea - with some chocolate "dots" in the center of your circle, these would look like mini sunflowers!! This is such a cute idea - how pretty on a dessert table...I see you are still creating and re-inventing - you never disappoint me, that's for sure! Have a good weekend, my friend...Krum (and hugs to your sweet wife - when is that second little one due now??)

    What a truly beautiful creation, ahmed! I am hoping to be patient enough to work on such a small scale. Your photography is great. Just balancing a small cake on your finger to give scale to its size is amazing to me! Thank you, Thank you! You, naturally, have my five... should be 1,005.
