GLUTEN FREE AMARETTO AND CHEERY CHEESECAKES

I was hoping to do a waffley post but so far my waffles still need work, im enjoying the taste tests though non the less!

Whilst doing the weekly shop, strolling around my supermarket, I came across, to my delight gluten free amaretto biscuits, snapped the packet up and ran home,  nibbled a few then it hit me, I realised ... i wanted pudding.... a real pudding. so i present to you my mini gluten free baked cheesecakes! using no/low fat cream cheese makes thsi tastey treat guilt free and my sensitive tummy very happy.

the fresh chopped cherries and creamy vanilla filling go hand in hand with the sweet almond biscuits.  

Bobbin's been keeping a good eye over these baked mini marvels... she doesnt have the most sophisticated palette nor a sweet tooth (she devoured gravy and cheesey rice for breakfast), but i can promise you these are good... too good ...baked 6 but only 2 made it to the photo shoot ;)  no self control but who needs it when these are so low in caloires (75 each).... nutrional info here!
