Makes 12
Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 30 mins
INGREDIENTS:
500g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
250ml thickened cream
135g caster sugar
½ tsp sea salt
10g plain flour
10g cornflour
1 egg yolk
1 tsp Dollar Sweets Vanilla Bean Paste
3 eggs, room temperature
Dollar Sweets Muffin Wraps
METHOD:
Preheat a fan-forced oven to 200ºC. Line a standard muffin tin with 12x Dollar Sweets Muffin Wraps.
Add cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a beater. Beat until smooth then gradually add cream in a thin stream, beating it as you pour, until just combined. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl during this step.
Add sugar and salt and beat for a further 2 mins.
Add both flours, yolk, and vanilla. Beat until combined.
Add eggs, one a time, making sure each egg is incorporated before adding the next.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a jug. Discard any solids. Divide the batter evenly between the Dollar Sweets Muffin Wraps.
Place tray onto the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 mins, then reduce heat to 150ºC and bake for a further 10 mins until the cheesecakes has set.
Allow cheesecakes to cool to room temperature to serve, or store in the fridge and bring back to room temperature when ready to serve.
