Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 8 white chocolate cookies
  • 45g/1¾oz butter, melted
  • 300g/10½oz cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 90g/3¼oz caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 free-range egg, plus 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tbsp soured cream
  • 100g/3½oz raspberries
  • lightly whipped double cream or crème fraîche, to serve

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a muffin tin with eight muffin cases.
  • Blend the cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. (You can also do this by placing them in a plastic bag and bashing with a rolling pin).
  • Stir in the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the base of the paper cases, reserving a tablespoon to garnish.
  • For the filling, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, then stir in the plain flour, caster sugar, vanilla extract, egg and egg yolk and soured cream and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Put a few raspberries in the bottom of each case, reserving some for garnish, then spoon the cream cheese mixture on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set, but still slightly wobbly in the middle.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven and set aside to cool for 30 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the tin, transfer to a plate and chill in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight.
  • To serve, carefully peel off the paper cases and top the cupcakes with a spoonful of whipped cream and a few raspberries. Sprinkle over the reserved biscuit mixture.
