These mini cheesecake-like treats are eggless, sugar-free, cream-cheese free and don’t require turning on the oven at all.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Fresh home-made Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) from 1 lt whole milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh cream
- 1 1/2 cups pitted dates, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 8 butter cookies (or any kind you have at home)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 packet (approx 1/4 oz) (7 g) gelatin
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) boiling water
Instructions
- Mix the gelatin and water and keep aside till the gelatin has completely dissolved.
- Crush the cookies and combine with melted butter. Press at the bottom of a cheesecake pan or muffin tray, and bake at 400 F for 5-7 minutes, till the biscuits begin to brown. Cool in a refrigerator and keep aside.
- Blend the paneer, cream, maple syrup, dates and milk together till it turns into a thick and smooth mixture (some chunks of dates may remain and that’s perfectly alright!). Stir in the gelatin and mix well. Pour the mixture on top of the cookie crust prepared earlier, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours till set. Serve chilled.
