These are cute little baked New York Style Cheesecakes, with two wonderful fruit sauces, a raspberry and a strawberry sauce.

The recipe itself is very straightforward and easy, and the sauces are flexible so you can swap the strawberries or raspberries for any other soft fruit, such as blueberries, blackberries etc.

Can I use canned, fresh or frozen fruit?

For the sauce, you can use fresh or frozen fruit. It really doesn't matter at all because you will need to heat up the berries in a pan to get a lovely syrup sauce, so fresh, frozen, or even canned is fine.

The cheesecake recipe is a basic vanilla cheesecake, which goes really well against any fruit sauce which is a little sharp, such as raspberries.

You could swap the vanilla for some chocolate chips and a tablespoon of cocoa powder to give you chocolate cheesecakes. Feel free to play around with the flavors and make a variety.

These little desserts are great if you're planning a party or want to take a variety of mini cheesecakes to a potluck. Perfect for portion control so you can make as many as you need.
