Rose's Heavenly Cake, Page 327: Baby Lemon Cheesecakes
Recently, i've been sick...from stomach flu, to cold, to a very bad headache on Sunday. Finally managed to find time today after work to bake these. Since I had little time to bake these, instead of baking the sponge cake, i made gingerbread cookie crust (recipe page 252). I baked them in non-stick paper souffle cups, so i'll have less to wash up after..lol! Paper cups cannot be submerged into water, so i place a huge tray of water below the baby cheesecakes - my logic is that the water below will create steam similar to that of waterbath.
I baked at 170c for 20mins..but judging from the tray below, i think should be just 15mins cos the right side cheesecake is over baked.. a bit sink at the centre but the ones on the left side is smooth and nicer..(uneven heat in my oven..)
Once the cheesecake cooled, the sides will move away from the paper and there's no problem removing the cheesecake after cutting away the paper.
Oh, and i forgot, i didn't make any lemon curd. Instead i used the orange curd (recipe on page 180).
I made extra batches of orange curd a while back and kept it in the freezer.
VERDICT: It's sooo yummy! The chewy cookie base and the soft cheesecake and the sweet orange curd blends in really well. Not sure if it would taste better with lemon curd, but i have to say that i love the orange curd flavor paired with this. My family loves it! :D Definitely a keeper!

Take care ;)
They look delicious!
Cool idea to use the paper cups. Glad you are feeling better now :)
I love gingerbread cookie crust with cheesecake! What a good idea with this lemon version. Hope you get completely well soon. No fun at all being sick.
Oh! These little cheesecakes look so cute...I know I'll like them since like everything with lemon...
I was wondering how a cookie base would do, and the gingerbread one sounds really good. And with orange curd, yum!
These little cheese cakes look delish!:)
These look great. Love your use of orange with the gingerbread crust!
WOW! Looks simple and yummy! And you can finish ONE portion without feeling guilty. hehehehe
Sorry you've been ill...!
These look fantastic, I've always meant to make cheese cakes and I think lemon would be my flavour of choice too and all the better for being dainty miniature ones. I can eat two then.
They look amazing! I hope you are feeling better - I know those baby cheesecakes would make me feel great!
Oh, wow! The idea of petite cheesecakes sounds good! I always love traditional cheesecake for its sweet and tangy flavor, creamy and not-quite-dense texture! Thanks for making me drool right before bedtime! Hahaha!
I had a chance to try a very similar recipe. At the time I did not have much else other than Multigrain flake cereal and some limes. I decided to go for it...they turned out absolutely scrumptious.
Your Gingerbread cookies are a great idea. May make an even bigger cheescake with them ;o)
I have Rose's book on my wish list...I think she's a wonderful baker.
This was a nice visit. Looking forward to more of your posts.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia

Hi Simonne, we are not allowed to post recipes from Rose's book. Plus her recipes are usually very long and it's impossible to type them all. So my advise would be to buy the book. HTH! :)
