Individual Cheesecakes for Shavuot

Preparation

Small and impossibly beautiful individual cheesecakes for Shavuot:

Thin sponge cake or sponge biscuits - for the base. Fruit, berries, nuts, cocoa, mint - for decoration.

All the cheesecake ingredients should be at room temperature. Beat until smooth.

Soak the gelatin in cold water (0.5 cup) an hour before preparation. Melt the soaked gelatin in a water bath or in the microwave. Pour the gelatin into the cheese mixture and mix thoroughly with a mixer.

Divide the cheese mixture into two parts, pour melted chocolate into one part, and mix thoroughly.

For the base, you can bake a thin sponge cake,  or make a pliable mixture of crushed biscuits and butter, then press it firmly into the bottom of the mold/molds.

Pour the white and chocolate cheese mixtures over the base alternately. You can use a pastry syringe/piping bag to pipe the cheese mixture in patterns.

Decorate and refrigerate for at least an hour to an hour and a half.

Chag Shavuot Sameach!
