Description
Delight in the harmony of creamy cheesecake blended with crunchy pistachios and tart cranberries in these no-bake mini cheesecakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Biscoff crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp powdered clear gelatin
- Fresh cranberries (for topping)
- Additional chopped pistachios (optional)
- Rosemary (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix the Biscoff crumbs and melted butter together until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 6 mini cheesecake pans or lined muffin cups. Press the crust firmly into the bottom of the pans. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add in the mascarpone cheese, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes, or until set.
- Heat the cranberry juice and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered gelatin until dissolved completely. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Spoon the gelatin mixture evenly over the chilled cheesecakes once cooled but still liquid. Chill the cheesecakes again until the cranberry topping is set, about 60 minutes.
- Top each cheesecake with fresh cranberries and additional chopped pistachios if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese and mascarpone are at room temperature for a smoother texture. Allow adequate chilling time for the best results.
