Cheesecake is loved by everyone, it’s very popular especially as summer approaches. It’s a fresh and delicious dessert.
Instead of the classic cheesecake, I prepared mini cheesecakes with pastry crust and fresh strawberries, individual portions with a pastry crust instead of the classic biscuit with butter, and I must say that the combination of pastry crust and cream is spectacular.
Suitable for any occasion, especially if you have guests over for lunch.

Preparation of Mini cheesecakes with pastry crust and fresh strawberries
Let’s see how to prepare the mini cheesecakes.
Prepare the pastry crust (click on pastry crust for the recipe) or use ready-made pastry. I used small square molds, but you can easily use round tart molds. Roll out the pastry crust to about half a centimeter (0.2 inches) and line the greased molds, prick the base and bake at 356°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes, let them cool before using. Meanwhile, prepare the cream, soften the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. In a bowl, combine ricotta and cream cheese, mix until well combined. Then add the sugar and lemon zest, continuing to mix. Dissolve the gelatin in a little warm cream and add to the mixture. Whip the rest of the cream and gently fold it into the mixture. Now take all the pastry crust bases and fill them with the prepared cream, level them well, and place them in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Take the mini cheesecakes, spread a layer of jam in the center. Cut the strawberries into wedges and decorate the cheesecakes, put them back in the fridge for another hour before serving.
Notes
Before consuming, remove from the refrigerator at least 10-15 minutes beforehand, otherwise they will be too cold. When serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with a few mint leaves.
