Mini PopaBall Rose Gold Shimmer Raspberry Cheesecakes
Makes 12
Made using PopaBall Rose Gold Shimmer for Prosecco
Ingredients
Base
- 8-10 digestive biscuits, crushed into crumbs
- 65g butter, melted
Cheesecake filling
- 3 gelatine sheets, soaked in a little cold water
- 100ml double cream, chilled
- 250g Quark soft cheese
- 12 tsp vanilla extract
- 75g sugar
Topping
- 3 gelatine sheets, soaked in a little cold water
- 125ml apple juice
- 125ml water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1-2 drops of red food colouring (optional)
- PopaBall Rose Gold Shimmer for Prosecco
- 175g raspberries
Instructions
- To make the biscuit bases, place the crushed biscuits and melted butter in a bowl and stir to combine. Divide the mixture between the holes in a Lakeland 12-Hole Loose-Based Mini Sandwich Tin and press down firmly to cover the bases. Refrigerate until set.
- To make the cheesecake filling, remove the gelatine from the cold water and squeeze to drain. Place the gelatine in a clean bowl, pour on a little hot water ─ just enough to cover ─ and leave to dissolve.
- Place the cream in a clean bowl and, using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the Quark, vanilla extract and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Add one tablespoon of the Quark mixture to the dissolved gelatine and mix well, then stir in the rest of the Quark mixture.
- Gradually add the whipped cream to the Quark mixture, stirring between each addition. Divide the mixture between the 12 holes in the tin and refrigerate for a few hours until set.
- To make the topping, remove the gelatine from the cold water and squeeze to drain. Gently heat the apple juice, water, sugar and food colouring in a pan. Once hot, add the gelatine and stir well to dissolve, taking care not to boil.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly. Add a little of the Rose Gold Shimmer and stir through the mixture.
- Top the mini cheesecakes with raspberries and spoon over the shimmery apple juice mixture. Refrigerate until set and then serve with an extra dusting of shimmer.
