So get your Valentine’s Day shopping list started by adding these ingredients:
Crust:
2 c. Graham cracker crumbs
1/4c. Sugar
1/2c. Butter (melted)
Filling:
8 oz. Cream cheese(softened)
1 c. Heavy whipping cream
1/2 c. Sour cream
2/3 c. Powdered sugar (sifted)
2 tsp. Vanilla
Strawberry roses:
12 strawberries
Small bowl of sugar
Directions
Step 1:
Crush graham crackers. Mix cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press 2 tbsp. of mixture into the bottom of cupcake pan. Freeze until firm.
Step 2:
Measure out heavy cream and with an electric mixer mix until cream is at a firm peak. Approximately 3-4 minutes. Transfer whipped cream to another bowl.
Step 3:
Mix together cream cheese, vanilla and sour cream. Sift in powdered sugar and mix until combined.
Step 4:
Fold in whipped cream until incorporated.
Step 5:
Add 1/3 c. of cheesecake mixture to each graham cracker crust. Smooth with a spatula and set in freezer for 1 hour.
Step 6:
While cheesecakes are chilling prepare your strawberry roses. To do this, wash your strawberries, cut off leaves and pat dry. Start by slicing in a petal at the base of the strawberry. Slice 3 petals around the base. The next petals are going to be a little further up the strawberry, use the same concept as before. Just be careful not to cut the petals completely off. Complete the Rose by cutting a third layer of petals toward the point of the strawberry. The last step is to dip the finished rose into sugar to give it a shimmery look.
Place a Rose on the top of each cheesecake. Serve and enjoy!
Nothing is better than a good piece of cheesecake. I served theses personal strawberry rose cheesecakes at a family function not to long ago and by the time I went through the food line they were gone! Cheesecake always seems to be a big hit no matter who your audience is.
These blissful Canadian Butter Tarts are the hit of the party also. Yum!
