How to Cook Mini Red Velvet Cheesecake
The best way to do this is is by following the step by step instructions while you
cook. so here are the ingredients you can check to see if you’ve got them already or make time to go to the store and pick them up.
The first thing that you’ll need are Nilla wafers- 24 of them. If you try to use the knock-offs (vanilla wafers) on this one we can’t promise you the same great results.
Next would be an 18-oz package reduced-fat cream cheese. No need to refrigerate, just keep it at room temperature. A 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract is next. 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup pureed beets (canned or steamed) and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder should do the job. Oh yeah, make sure you’ve got a 12-cup mini-muffin tin and some paper liners.
Our fabulous mini red velvet cheesecake cupcakes are almost here. By the way this recipe came from KitchenDaily, they have a bunch of good stuff over there.
Okay, that was a short commercial break and we’re back!
Preheat your oven at 300°F. Line a 12-cup mini-muffin tin with paper liners. Place a Nilla Wafer into each muffin cup.
If you’re on a lap top you can bring it as close to you and your oven as conveniently possible, other wise keep walking back to view the screen…
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth or just go old fashion and use your arm. Add the egg white and the vanilla, and mix well. On low speed, beat in sour cream until just combined. Reserve 1 cup of the batter and set aside for the swirl or simply beat in the beets and cocoa powder for an all-red cheesecake.
Now the is how you get the swirl. For the swirl, fill each muffin cup halfway with the white batter. Spoon a dot of the red batter on top of each, and with the tip of a knife, swirl the red batter in.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges of the cheesecake begin to firm while the center is still soft. Remove cheesecakes from the oven and cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.
You’ve got it! Prepare this dessert with your friends or family and make it a special time. Enjoy, compliments of The Apartments at Arboretum via KitchenDaily
