Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake:
- 10g cornstarch

- 200g cream cheese
- 100ml heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- Grated zest of lemon
For the Crust:
- 80g crushed butter cookies
- 40g melted butter
For the Raspberry Sauce:
- 5g cornstarch
- 70g raspberries
- 40ml water
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
Directions:
- Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter and press 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of muffin cups to form the base.
