Description
This smoked Salmon Mini Savory Cheesecakes recipe gives a fresh, creamy, no-bake appetizer with a crunchy cracker crust, a lemon-dill cheese filling, and smoked salmon on top.
Ingredients
Scale
For the base:
- 100 g plain crackers (Tuc-style)
- 50 g melted butter
For the creamy cheese filling:
- 200 g Philadelphia
- 250 g ricotta
- 200 g smoked salmon
- 1 bunch fresh dill
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- A few pink peppercorns
Instructions
Prepare the base:
- Put the crackers in a food processor/blender and blend finely.
- Add the melted butter and mix.
- Place the rings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (using acetate/rhodoid is recommended for easy, clean unmolding), then add about a heaped tablespoon of crumbs into each ring.
- Press the crumbs down firmly with the base of a glass.
- Chill while you prepare the cream.
Prepare the creamy cheese filling:
- Prepare the smoked salmon by chopping it finely (set aside a few slices for decoration, if desired).
- Rinse the dill and remove the leaves.
- In a large bowl, add the cheeses, smoked salmon, dill, pink peppercorns, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk well to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fill the rings with the cheese mixture and smooth the surface, using a piping bag.
- Cover each ring with cling film and chill for 6 hours, or ideally overnight.
- After chilling, unmold the rings. If you used acetate/rhodoid, unmolding will be very easy.
- Decorate the cheesecakes with smoked salmon slices and fresh dill.
- Serve well chilled.
