Steemit Culinary Challenge #33 "NEWBIE SPECIAL"
CHEESECAKE MINIS
This is a simpler and quicker version of a regular cashew cheesecake, perfect to impress guests or just to satisfy your sweet tooth. You don’t have to be a culinary expert to create this delicious dessert and presented with finesse. Not to mention, it is totally guilt free, highly nutritious and satisfying. However, if you up to it, you can make a regular raw, cheesecake by following instruction of one of my cheesecakes recipes on my blog, or you can use those recipes and make cheesecake minis. Have fun and be creative.

seems like a masterpiece! well don @lenasveganliving
Thank you so much Dear Friend 😊💚
Oh @lenasveganliving, your cheesecakes are so beautiful, really, but I have to tell you there's one tiny problem... the theme for the newbie special was "berries"!!! I'd love to count it if cherries were berries but unfortunately they're not, and now the deadline is up so there's no chance to add a few now :-( There is always a different theme each week to base recipes on, perhaps you didn't realise. I do hope you're not disappointed but please join in for the next round!
Oh really? Omgosh, I thought that was last week. I actually have a mix berry raw cheesecake recipe on my blog. https://www.lenasveganliving.com/pretty . I have actually a lot of berry recipes and non with cherries. I guess that's why I overlooked the rules. Oh well, its okay. Please keep me posted about the next challenge. Thank you so much @woman-onthe-wing 😊🍓
It's such a shame as those little cheesecakes looked soooooo good! Especially since you did them with the chocolate dripping over the sides... fantastic! I am probably pausing the challenge for next week, but I usually post the new theme each Friday :-) I will keep you posted!
No problem Dear @woman-onthe-wing and thank you 😊🍓
