I'm not a fan of cheese. However, the bf been craving for cheesecake these few days. So I baked these mini cheesecake.

Ingredient A:
- 62.5g digestive biscuit crumbs
- 2.5 tbsp butter

Ingredient B:
- 225g ricotta cheese
- 225g cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 70g icing sugar
- 1 egg

Ingredient C:
- Strawberries / Blueberries

Method:
- Mix Ingredient A.
- Spoon tablespoon of ingredient A into mini cake cases and press firmly.
- Chill until it set.
- Mix Ingredient B and beat till smooth.
- Add the mixture to the set cases.
- Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 160C.
- Allow to cool and chill. (This is important. As when the cake is freshly out from the oven, the cake tend to collapse.)
- Serve chill with berries.

Result:
Not too cheesy. Taste is light. Excellent for people who dislike cheesy food.

However, will need to work harder for working on the base of the cake.
