Individual Cheesecakes

Cheesecake with Ganache topping made in individual Ramekins. I used walnut flour for my crust, to make them gluten free.



Individual Cheesecakes

In each ramekin add 2 tablespoons walnut flour or graham cracker crumbs, add 1 teaspoon sugar mix together.

Pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter in the crust mixture and mix together.

Pat down crust mixture evenly in bottom of dish.

Pour half of the filling in each of the ramekin dishes.

Place ramekins in a baking dish or skillet with about an inch of water in the bottom.

Pour the heavy whipping cream into a glass bowl, p!ace in the microwave and heat until hot, about 22 seconds.
