Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Crushed Cookies Substitute with any similar cookie type for flavor variations.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Swap with margarine for a dairy-free option.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Full-fat is preferable for richness.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Alternative sweeteners can be used.
  • 1 large Egg Consider a flax egg for a vegan version.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Can be omitted if not available.
For the Topping
  • 2 cups Rhubarb Can swap with berries.
  • 2 tbsp Water Not necessary when using fresh, juicier fruits.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Mini muffin pan
  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press this blend into the bottom of a lined mini muffin pan to form even bases. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant, then allow to cool completely.
  2. While the crust cools, prepare the rhubarb topping. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped rhubarb with sugar and a splash of water. Stir as it cooks for 6-10 minutes until jammy. Let it cool to room temperature.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add egg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Spoon the cream cheese filling into each cooled crust, filling them to about three-quarters full. Top with a dollop of the warm rhubarb mixture, swirling for a marbled effect if desired.
  5. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 10-14 minutes until edges are set, and centers are still jiggly. Let them cool at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. Pop them out of the muffin pan and present to guests.
