Savoury Mini Cheesecakes No Bake

These rich and creamy no-bake cheesecakes are made based on the same principle as a sweet Cheesecake except that they are savoury. These are perfect as an appetizer, a light snack and a perfect accompaniment for a picnic because they are easy to transport.

 The base is prepared by preparing a mixture of crackers and melted butter the later is then topped with a delectable topping of cream cheese and ricotta. The mini cheesecakes are prepared in muffin tins which are left to set in the refrigerator.

You can prepare the topping according to your liking. I like to use veggies for extra nutritional boost. Sometimes I may keep it simple keep it simple with a slice of tomato and an olive. You can add herbs or vegetables of your choice. I like to add freshly ground black pepper because it's mild heat kicks up the flavour.
