Cheesecake cups

Javier Burillo. Who could say no to cheesecake? Thankfully, this recipe is so easy to prepare. Get crushed graham crackers, sugar, cream cheese, sour cream, and 1 medium egg. Fillings such as cookies, chocolates, and even fruit jams can be added. First, put holders in the cupcake pan. Then put a layer of crushed grahams. Mix the sugar, cream cheese, sour cream, and egg. Make sure all these ingredients are mixed well. For those who might want to add an ingredient for filling, they can put a thin layer of the cheesecake mix. Then they can scoop the filling before putting another layer of the cheesecake mix. Bake for a few minutes and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Ice cream sandwiches

Javier Burillo. There are other recipes online that have a more complicated version of this treat. But for those who want a cool and quick dessert for a hot day, this simple recipe is enough. One will need wax paper, a cake pan, and ice cream. First, line the pan with wax paper before putting the crackers. Make sure that there are no huge gaps between the crackers. Then, thaw the ice cream for a few minutes so that it can easily spread on top of the crackers. When the ice cream has softened, scoop it on top of the crackers. Spread it a little more before adding another layer of graham crackers. For extra taste, add bits of chocolate or fruit before putting the top layer of grahams. Chill for a few hours and serve.
