To make these mini cheesecakes more fun, get creative with toppings – whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, red fruit marmalade, colorful sprinkles or some chocolate.
In this case, we experimented topping them with chocolate spaghetti done with molecular cuisine set.
It turned out super cool and we loved this unconventional way of decorating them.
However, keep in mind that decoration mini cheesecakes with molecular cuisine techniques is not easy. It will probably take you some time until to totally control the method. In our case we had to do like 3 different trials until we step into the right consistency.
