No-Bake Strawberry Cheese Cupcakes 免烤草莓芝士纸杯蛋糕

Just like to record this No-bake strawberry cheese cupcake recipe here, that i made for my niece's wedding. A simple recipe but great taste ! and very suitable for homemade and served as party food.

If you are making in large amount for party, for this biscuit base step, you can do it one day in advance.

The mixture of cream cheese and gelatine is watery, so you have to freeze the cupcake before place strawberry on top, otherwise it will sink to the bottom.

I just brush with homemade sugar glaze but did not make a layer of jello or store bought jelly, so i know it is safe to consume as i know what i put in ^_^
