Cheesecake in a cup !

I've been browsing Pinterest a lot recently and noticed this new trend of "cakes in a cup" recipes. This is my version of a berry cheesecake with crushed biscuits and almonds topped off with fresh strawberries and blueberries. You can even add whip cream on top ! I love this recipe because it's so easy to make and you can control your portions depending on the size of the mug you use. This is also a great idea for tea parties because the cakes look so pretty in dainty cups ! Hope you like it . My recipe yields serving for two people.

You will need ( depending on the size of the mug you use):

2 egg whites

1 cup of sour cream

1 teaspoon of lemon juice

1 tablespoon of flour

3-4 tablespoon sugar

Half cup of cream cheese

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

You will also need crushed almonds ( I simply crushed almonds in a blender ), some digestive biscuits, and strawberry jam for garnishing at the end.

Whisk together flour, lemon juice, egg whites, sour cream, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract. I used an electric mixer because I find it gives a better consistency for the batter.

Pour the mixture into the cups. Take some strawberry jam and mix it into the mixture.

 Microwave each cup separately and keep a close eye to make sure you don't over cook it. Each microwave is different, my microwave cooked the mixture in about 1 minute. I would recommend checking the mixture at 20-30 seconds intervals. You will know the mixture is done when the center bubbles. Take out the cup and let it set at room temperature and then set it in the fridge for 2-3 hours. In the mean time crush some digestive biscuits in a bag and cut fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Take out the cheesecake and garnish the top with crushed almonds and biscuits. Next, arrange the fresh fruits on top and top off with whip cream if you want to go all out. At this point you can also add more strawberry jam if desired.

This cheesecake is the ultimate comfort food for me now. I love scooping it out with a spoon while watching my favorite show or movie !
