  • Butter: 50g butter, melted
  • Honey: 1 tbsp honey
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Buttermilk: 150ml buttermilk

  • Icing Sugar: 100g icing sugar
  • Apricot Jam: 9 tsp apricot jam
  • Digestive Biscuits: 100g digestive biscuits
  • Stone Fruits: mixture of stone fruits, halved or quartered and de-stoned (we used 2 apricots, 2 plums and 1 small peach)
  • Dessert Wine: 2 tbsp dessert wine or marsala

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and line nine holes of a muffin tin with muffin cases. Put the biscuits in a food bag and crush to fine crumbs using arolling pinor use afood processor, then mix with the butter. Spoon into the muffin holes and use the back of a spoon to press the biscuits into a compact layer.
  2. Whiskthe cream cheese, buttermilk, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a jug. Pour onto the biscuit bases, filling them right to the top. Bake for 20 mins, then turn the oven off and leave the cheesecakes inside for 2 hrs, or until the oven is completely cool. Once cool, chill for at least 3 hrs, or overnight if you can.
  3. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the stone fruit, honey, wine and vanilla in aroasting tinand cook for 15 mins, until the fruit starts to soften and caramelise in places. Add the berries to the tin and cook for another 2-3 mins until they look shiny and juicy. Leave to cool. When you're ready to serve, place the cheesecakes on a platter or individual plates, then top each one with a spoonful of jam and some of the fruits, drizzling over any juice from the tin.
