Mini Blood Orange Cheesecakes

These miniature cheesecakes are a bit of a throwback to the horrendously 80s frozen cheesecake that my Mum and Dad used to buy down the freezer aisle when I was a kid (…and still do to this day). The parts are all there, I’ve just shrunk it down to cupcake size and given it a bit of a face-lift. The base is made from blitzed Biscoff biscuits, the baked cheesecake filling had that slightly tangy New York Cheesecake flavour, and then it’s all topped off with a vegetarian blood orange jelly (which is far easier to make than it sounds) and candied blood orange. Yum! They’re really easy to make and are a sweet way of treating your favourite people this Valentines Day.

In case you didn’t know, next week it’s St Dwynwen’s Day (25th of January) – our very own Welsh version of Valentines Day, where we exchange cards, flowers and love spoons – if we remember to!  And if we do, it’s kind of nice to quietly celebrate Valentines Day before everyone else jumps on the band wagon in […]
