This is truly one of the easiest dessert recipes! These Low FODMAP mini cheesecakes with peppermint crumbs are sweet and tangy but aren’t overly heavy, making them perfect for your holiday table.

We made this recipe to serve three, but it is super easy to scale the recipe up to feed more.

Don’t love peppermint? That’s okay, leave the peppermint candy canes out of the recipe and swap in a serving of your favourite low FODMAP fruit instead.

FODMAP notes: Pure regular fat cream is Low FODMAP in 2 tablespoon servings. This serving size means you don’t have to use lactose free cream if you can’t find it.

Candy cane note: We used Low FODMAP candy canes made from cane sugar, glucose syrup, colour 129, and natural peppermint oil. Avoid candy canes made from high FODMAP sweeteners.

Method

  1. Finely crush the biscuits/cookies until they resemble fine breadcrumbs - we did this using a food processor.
  2. Melt the butter or dairy free spread. Add the cinnamon and melted butter/dairy free spread to the crushed biscuits/cookies. Mix well.
  3. Scoop the biscuit base evenly into the small glasses and press gently to form a smooth layer (we used the top of a salad jar to do this).
  4. Next, mix the cream cheese, vanilla and icing/powdered sugar until smooth (we did this in the food processor - clean it first - so there aren’t any crumbs).
  5. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Then, gently fold the cream through the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Scoop (this is what we did for a more rustic look) or pipe the mixture using a piping bag into the glasses.
  7. Chill the assembled mini cheesecakes in the fridge for 2 hours.
  8. When you are ready to serve top the cheesecakes with crushed candy canes and candy pieces OR with your favourite Low FODMAP fruit.
  9. These low FODMAP mini cheesecakes will last three days stored in the fridge.
  10. Enjoy!
