IMG_8925

Do you want a no fuzz super tasty cheesecake recipe you can whip in not time? Well look no further because you have found it right here!

I made this cheesecake version into individual ones because not only they bake in a shorter time but they also cool rather fast, which means you can eat sooner ;-) but you can still have this one as a one perfect 9 inch cheesecake!

I know there are certain people not willing to use low fat cheese versions when making cheesecake but I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and was fine with it.

This is a rather simple and refreshing treat so I hope you try it soon and as my post on Monday, in leu of 5 de Mayo, this cheesecake is a perfect contender
Enjoy!

Here you can appreciate the vanilla half oreo cookies I used for the base of the cheesecakes since I didn’t have the wafers as well as the cream cheese batter on the right picture.

……..and the end result, just darling and very tasty ;-)
