Yummy mini strawberry cheesecakes with oat-based crust

Mini strawberry cheesecakes are perfect for an afternoon tea, a special occasion, or just an everyday treat - and kids will love them, too.

These mini strawberry cheesecakes are light, creamy, and perfectly portioned. Made with a simple oat-based crust and a velvety smooth cream cheese filling, they’re finished off with a dollop of glossy strawberry jam. Make them ahead of time, chill them, and have a batch ready whenever you need a little treat (or when guests pop by unexpectedly). Recipe compliments of Lancewood.
