Directions
-
Prepare the Base: Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Once melted, mix it with the crushed tennis biscuits to form a coarse, sandy mixture. Spoon a generous amount into the bottom of each glass or cup and press down firmly to flatten. This provides a solid foundation for our tremendous cheesecake filling.
-
Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with the boiling water. Stir the mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly; this step is critical as adding hot gelatin to the cream cheese mixture can compromise the texture.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a heartwarming process, whip the fresh cream using an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, or until stiff peaks appear. In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until you achieve a smooth consistency. Next, add the cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, ensuring to maintain the immense lightness of the filling.
-
Fill the Cups: Carefully fill each prepared cup with about half a cup of the creamy mixture. You can use a piping bag for a neat finish, or simply spoon it in. The presentation is paramount, and the advantage of individual servings ensures that everyone gets their fair share!

Garnish: Finally, it’s time to get creative! Top your cheesecakes with your preferred garnishes, be it rich chocolate sauce, crunchy cookie crumbs, or fresh fruit. Once decorated, serve these delightful cups chilled to appreciate their tremendous flavor and texture.
