Summer desserts are the best! I love how you can add so many summer flavours and create absolutely amazing desserts.
Dessert cups are easy to make and look so elegant. They are great for formal dinner parties and if you are serving a crowd, then ditch the cups and make it in a large pyrex dish. You really can't go wrong with this dessert.
Preparation Time 10 minutes
Chill Time 4 hours
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 cup biscuit crumbs/ graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter
400 grams cream cheese
228 grams sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup whipping cream- whipped to stiff peaks
1 mango- sliced in small cubes
Instructions
Combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. The mixture will resemble wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of 6 mini dessert cups.
Beat the cream to stiff peaks. Set it aside.
Beat the cream cheese with the sweetened condensed milk until just combined. Over mixing will lead to a soupy mixture.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Add the fresh lemon juice and vanilla. Fold it in.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag.
Pipe the cheesecake mixture until 1/4 full. Top with sliced mangoes and repeat the cheesecake and mango layers again. End with the mangoes. Top the dessert cups with a mint leaf.
Chill the dessert cups in the fridge for 3-4 hours until ready to serve.
