Shortbread Crusted Mini Cheesecakes
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Filling
- 1 package cream cheese (room temp or softened in the microwave for 30 seconds)
- 3 tablespoons THM's [eafl id=2173 name="Gentle Sweet" text="Gentle Sweet"] or 1 1/2 tablespoons Truvia or 5 tablespoons Swerve
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Instructions
- This filling recipe will basically fill 12 muffins but the cookie recipe will allow for 18 so doubling this filling recipe will let you use all the cookie dough if you like and they are sort of addicting so use your best judgment. I've taken these to two gatherings and got complaints that they run out too fast so I'm going to make 18 from now on :-)!
- Mix well until the filling is very smooth. Spoon over the cookie crust by the tablespoon. One and a half tablespoon will end up filling each to the 3/4 mark in my pans but this will vary. Bake at 350 degrees until the filling is set. I set the timer for 10 minutes and end up cooking them for 15 minutes.
- Top with sliced berries that have been presweetened by sprinkling them with sweetener and stirring to coat.
