Cheesecake is one of the most famous recipes all over the world. You may prepare it baked or non-baked. The non-baked versions are absolutely my favourite. The cheesecake is quiet easy to make, and the results depends mainly on the quality of the ingredients you use.
The origin of cheesecake dates back to the ancients Greece, even though it become popular in the eighteen century in Europe, and then in America.
Cheesecake is usually prepared on a spring form pan, but my go to choice for this cheesecake is another. I use muffins tins to prepare “mini-cheesecakes”. They are perfect for banquets and feasts. Everyone gets his own cheesecake bites, with the favourite topping.
As we’re speaking about toppings, this is another amazing thing about the mini-cheesecakes 🙂 you may choose whatever topping you want, chocolate sauce, fruit sauce, caramel sauce, jam, fresh fruit, nuts and many more.
