Mini Cheesecakes......

[ELVIS68]

Rather than make a cheesecake in a conventional round baking tin, what would be the best way to make mini bitesized cheesecakes?

Many thanks

In one of thosc cake tins that buns are made in?

[woofgang]

How small? You could make teeny rings from foil covered card or use small round biscuit cutters. If you did them in a bun tin, I reckon they wouldn't turn out unless you froze them in the tin and turned them out frozen.....maybe line the bun tin with cupcake papers?

[ELVIS68]

No bigger than cupcake size, I dont think cupcake holders would be any good because of the flared out sides

Pastry cutters

[vodkancoke]

Use a round pastry cutter, you can get them in loads of sizes

[vodkancoke]

oops sorry craft! :)

[ELVIS68]

So make a normal sized one, let it set and then cut them?

[vodkancoke]

You could make rings using foil if you need loads of them?

[craft1948]

Well you can try that, or fart around making individual little ones inside pastry cutters...............

I need to make around 50 so I guess making a few large ones and cut them out after would be the best option, thats if they hold together

[welshlibranr]

you can buy pastry rings, so will produce a flat base, but I would go with making a large base, cutting out with pastry cutters, and then adding the topping before fridging them, should be fine.........

[vodkancoke]

Thanks for that link craft! I have just ordered the mini cheesecake tin! lol :)

[ELVIS68]

welsh, so you think adding the topping after cutting the base would be better rather than cutting out from a larger cheesecake that has set?

[craft1948]

Looks quite good actually voddy..............

[vodkancoke]

Looks fab! I will upload piccys once I have made them lol

(sorry Elvis!)

I would make a large one in a rectangular/square dish, once its set, pop it in the freezer for 20 mins before cutting out the size/shape you require ( just to save the topping from warming up)

save one for me!

Don't know if you have a Morrisons near to you, but whilst in there today, I noticed in their First Home range, they had a 12 cup bun tray at 89p, I remembered this post and thought that they would be ideal. They weren't very deep but would take a mini cheesecake and would be easy to get out once made too.
