2CUPS + cut strawberries
1/2CUP cut pineapples
1TBSP each white, brown sugar & flour
Mix to combine. Set aside.
Cream filling:
250ml mascarpone is what we used or cream cheese
1/2CUP heavy cream
1TSP vanilla
1/2CUP sugar
Blend all in large bowl with beaters til it’s whipped up nice and thick. Takes couple minutes.
Bottom:
1 1/2CUPS crushed gram crackers (reserve TBSP to sprinkle ontop)
1/4TSP cinnamon
Pinch salt
1/2CUP melted butter/margarine
Mix all bottom ingredients, mix well til all crumbs are coated in butter.
I save some pineapple and strawberries to top cheese cakes with after they come out of oven.
Fold in the fruit Filling & cream filling together in 1 bowl.
I take 1 1/2TBSP of gram mixture and spoon it in the pan. Then I take my fingers compressing the Gram crackers in the sides and bottom, making them compact having a well in the centre to put my cheese cake mixture in.
I fill with a good 2TBSP of filling in each spot. And then sprinkle the reserved Gram on-top.
Bake 375F about 40minutes
Once cooked they will slide right out of pan! These are delicious. Let us know what you think!
