Mini strawberry cheesecakes made in shot glasses to control portion size… and to feel cute while eating them!

Ingredients

Grain-free base:

·         ½ cup almond flour

·         2 tablespoon grape seed oil

·         1 tablespoon white sugar

·         ½ teaspoon ground ginger

·         ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

·         pinch ground cloves

·         pinch of sea salt

Cheesecake:

·         ½ cup Happy Days Plain Cream Cheese Spread, at room temperature

·         6 tablespoons Happy Days Soft Okanagan Goat Cheese

·         6 tablespoons of 14% sour cream

·         1 egg

·         ¼ cup sugar

·         ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

·         ½ cup strawberry jam or spread    

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.

To make the base, stir all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.

Press the crumb mixture into 12 shot glasses. Set aside.

To make the cheesecake filling, add all ingredients to the bowl of your food processor, blender or stand mixer. Mix until smooth.

Evenly divide the filling into the shot glasses. Place glasses on a baking sheet and slide into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the glasses with aluminum foil. When baking, the cheesecake may push out from the tops of the shot glasses, going far beyond the rim. Don’t worry; they will settle when they’re out of the oven.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When you’re ready to serve, top with a dollop of strawberry jam or spread.
