Step-by-Step Instructions
- Blend the shortbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Melt the unsalted butter, combine with crumbs, and press into a silicone muffin pan to form the crust. Chill.
- Mix the unflavored powdered gelatin with cold water and bloom for about 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla paste, and salt. Incorporate heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently heat and melt the bloomed gelatin, then fold it into the cheesecake filling until evenly mixed.
- Divide the filling into bowls and tint with gel food colors as desired.
- Layer the colored fillings into the prepared muffin cups, chilling slightly between layers.
- Freeze the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Unmold the cheesecakes, garnish with whipped cream and decorations, and serve chilled.
