We had quite a few punnets of strawberries left over and had guest coming round. I wasn’t sure what to make but thought of making mini baked vanilla cheesecake with a strawberry sauce topping. I have made a few cheesecakes in my time, I do find them to be a very indulgent and very satisfying dessert, most people I know do like cheesecake but I know it’s not to everyones taste.

I used my recipe for the pistachio cheesecake I made to make this cheesecake, I really liked that recipe and my cheesecake worked well so I just tweaked it to fit this vanilla cheesecake. The cheesecakes turned out really well and the guests really liked it too, which I was pleased about. There was even enough for them to take home.
