Scale
Ingredients
180g Cream Cheese
1 Banana
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Plain Flour
25g Honey (substitute for maple or agave syrup for children < 12 months of age)
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Packs of Baby-Friendly Biscuits (available in the baby food isle)
25g Melted Butter
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 150C/300F and place a muffin mould onto a baking tray. Line this with butter if it’s not silicone.
- Crush the biscuits using a rolling pin and mix thoroughly with the melted butter.
- Place spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture into the muffin moulds and pack it down to form a biscuit base.
- Place into the oven for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix all of the other ingredients together with a whisk (preferably electric) to form a batter-like consistency.
- Divide the mixture between each of the muffin moulds, spooning it on top of the biscuit bases and levelling the tops with the back of the spoon.
- Place into the oven for 25-30 minutes. You want the cheesecake to still have a bit of jiggle in the middle at the end of the cooking time, as carry over cooking will continue to bake this further as it cools.
- Turn the oven off, leaving the door slightly ajar. Allow the cheesecakes to cool down inside the oven with the dar ajar until it is fully cooled.
- Remove from the oven and place into the freezer in the mould (top tip!) – this makes it easier to turn them out!
- Once firm, turn the cheesecakes out of the mould and decorate with shipped cream and banana.
- Or, remove from the moulds, place in a ziplock bag and put back into the freezer. Remove individual cheesecakes the night before you’d like to use them, and decorate with cream and banana prior to eating.
