Mini Orange Cream Cheesecake Cups
A tiny dessert with big personality — creamy, citrusy, quick, and made entirely from leftovers you probably already have.
Ingredients
(approximate, flexible)
• 3 tablespoons cookie crumble
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons mascarpone
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 2 teaspoons sugar (or honey)
• A drop of vanilla
For garnish:
• Crumbled hazelnuts
• Edible dried rose petals
• Fresh mint
Method
Base:
Press your cookie crumble into the bottom of a small glass or bowl. No butter needed — leftover cookies usually hold together just fine.
Cream layer:
Mix cream cheese, mascarpone, orange zest, orange juice, sweetener, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble:
Spoon the cream mixture over the cookie layer.
Chill:
Refrigerate for 10–20 minutes, or dive in immediately if patience isn’t your strength today.
Finish:
Garnish with hazelnuts, rose petals, fresh mint — or all three if you’re feeling fancy.
