These little taste
treats are my own creation. It is an easy and skinny version of individual
cheesecakes, yet still packed with plenty of flavor. This recipe makes one dozen
little cakes. Dress them up with a bit of fruit on top after baking and you’re good to go. Sorry, there’s no picture. Those two rascals I live with ate them too fast.
Cream Cheese Mini-Cakes
cheese
Philadelphia cream cheese
extract
powder
Remove cheeses
from refrigerator 2 hours before making this recipe. They both need to be at
room temperature to cream properly.
Place cheeses in a
large bowl. Mix on a low speed with an electric mixer until creamed.
Add eggs, sour
cream, sugar, and vanilla. Increase mixer speed to blend well. Pour in almond
flour and baking powder. Combine well.
Pour mixture into muffin
tins lined with cupcake papers or do like me and use a silicone form for
cupcakes. You’ll need to lightly oil it.
Pre-heat oven to
350° F.
Very important: put a medium-sized
bowl filled with water on the bottom of your oven.
Bake 35-40 min, or
until golden brown.
Here is a peek at
Stella’s time travel romance novel for your reading pleasure.
One key unlocks the love of a lifetime…but could also
break her heart.
Nika Morris’s sixth sense has helped build a successful
business, lovingly restoring and reselling historic homes on Florida’s Amelia
Island. But there’s one forlorn, neglected relic that’s pulled at her from the
moment she saw it. The century-old Coleman house.
Quite unexpectedly, the house is handed to her on a
silver platter—along with a mysterious letter, postmarked 1909, yet addressed
personally to Nika. Its cryptic message: Find the key. You know where it is.
Hurry, for goodness sake!
The message triggers an irresistible drive to find
that key. When she does, one twist in an old grandfather clock throws her
back in time, straight into the arms of deliciously, devilishly handsome Elijah
Coleman.
Swept up in a journey of a lifetime, Nika finds herself
falling in love with Eli—and with the family and friends that inhabit a time not
even her vivid imagination could have conjured. But in one desperate moment of
homesickness, she makes a decision that will not only alter the course of more
than one life, but break her heart.
