Scale
Cookie base
- 60g whole wheat cookies
- 30 g unsalted butter, melted
Camembert Cheese Cake
- 200g cream cheese (room temperature)
- 100g Camembert cheese
- 50g granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (22g) honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon (6g) cornstarch
- 200 ml whipping cream
Strawberry confiture
- 250g strawberry
- 125g granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
Instructions
Biscuits base
- Put the biscuits in a ziplock bag or other sealable bag, crush them finely with a rolling pin or other tool, and mix in the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a cup to ensure it is packed tightly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Camembert cheesecake batter
- Take cream cheese softened at room temperature and cut the Camembert cheese into appropriate sizes, then put them in a bowl. Use a whisk to crush them from the top, and then mix them in a circular motion. It's okay if the skin of the Camembert cheese is left, as it will be filtered out later.
- Add granulated sugar and honey to the bowl and mix well.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition.
- Sift in cornstarch and mix. Stir in the cream. Strain the dough.
Strawberry confiture
- Wash the strawberries in a bowl of water and remove the stems. Place the strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and heat over low heat.
- Slowly dissolve the sugar over low heat. Once all the sugar has dissolved and juice starts to come out from the strawberries, turn up the heat to high.
- When heated, at first, large bubbles will start to form rapidly. If it looks like the bubbles are about to overflow, adjust the heat to medium and continue heating while adjusting the heat as needed.
- The bubbles will gradually settle down and the mixture will thicken, becoming a darker shade of red and more transparent, indicating that it has become more concentrated (about 7-8 minutes).
- Once it has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly & Baking
- Line the muffin tray with paper liners. Pour the Camembert cheese cake batter into the muffin cups.
- Place a dollop of strawberry compote in the center (drop it in). Bake in a preheated water bath oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 15 minutes, then increase the temperature to 170°C (338°F) and bake for another 5 minutes. Once the surface is lightly browned, it's done.
