Light and creamy cheese cupcakes…
I wasn’t that fond of cheese cake a few years ago, but now I am very fond of it. After trying out a few delicious cheese cakes, I couldn’t help falling for it. It’s such a versatile dessert and can be made in different flavors. My most favorite is cappuccino flavor, and the next favorite is strawberry. Here are the recipes:
Last month, I had tried making cheese cake with ricotta cheese. It turned out to be so light, creamy and delicious. I poured the cheese batter into cupcake liners as I love to serve desserts in petite size. Since the cheesecake wasn’t flavored up with anything else, I drizzled the cheese cupcakes with strawberry coulis. A perfect dessert that can be whipped up with less effort and can be gobbled up with so much greed.
