Ingredients
  

For the crumbs:

  • cup (100 grams) flour
  • 1 stick (100 grams) cold butter, cut into cubes
  • ½ cup (100 grams) sugar

For the cheesecake:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces  (250 grams) cream cheese (I used mascarpone)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoon powdered sugar

For decoration:

  • Cherries or any other fruit that you like

Instructions
 

  • Set the oven to 170°C / 350°F with fan.
  • In a bowl, place the flour, butter and sugar.
  • With your hands or with a pastry cutter, mix the ingredients into a "sand" crumbly mixture.
  • Transfer the crumbs to a pan lined with baking paper and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the crumbs cool at room temperature for half an hour.
  • In the mixer bowl, whip together the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar to a firm whip.
  • For each cup of serving, place one layer of crumbs in the bottom. With a spoon or with a piping bag, add a layer of cheesecake and top this with another layer of crumbs. You can make as many layers as you want depending on your cup size.
  • Decorate with cherries or other garnish you like.
  • Have your mini crumb cheesecake and enjoy!
