2. Ingredients for the Mikado Tart Deluxe

To create this stunning no-bake cheesecake, gather the following ingredients:

• 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers for the crust
• 100g unsalted butter, melted
• 250g cream cheese, softened
• 200ml heavy cream
• 100g granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Salted caramel sauce (approximately 150g)
• Fresh blackberries for topping
• Fresh figs, sliced
• Optional: chopped nuts or edible flowers for garnish

3. Preparing the Mini Cheesecake Base

Step 1: Make the crust Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can do this easily using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix these crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of mini tart molds or silicone molds, creating a firm and even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.

4. Crafting the Creamy No-bake Cheesecake Filling

Step 2: Prepare the filling In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining thoroughly without deflating the whipped cream. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Return the mini cheesecakes to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best set and flavor. This process ensures the perfect texture for your no-bake cheesecake.

5. Adding the Salted Caramel, Blackberries, and Figs

Step 3: Assemble the topping Once the cheesecake filling is set, generously drizzle salted caramel sauce over each mini tart. Decorate with plump blackberries and slices of fresh figs. For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or edible flowers to elevate the visual appeal of your mini cheesecake creation. If you want to explore more flavor options, consider adding a layer of fruit preserves or a dusting of cocoa powder for variety.

6. Storage Tips for the No-bake Cheesecake

To keep your Mikado Tart Deluxe fresh and delicious, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This storage tip helps preserve the texture and prevents the toppings from slipping. Consume within 2 to 3 days for optimal freshness, especially if using fresh blackberries and figs, which are perishable. For longer storage, you can freeze the mini cheesecakes, though fresh toppings are best added just before serving to maintain their vibrant appearance.
