Directions
- Line 12 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups. Place a vanilla or chocolate wafer on the bottom of each bake cup.
- For filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined. Stir in eggs, lemon peel and orange peel.
- Pour filling into muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 20 minutes or until edges are set.
- Cool in pan on wire rack (centers will sink slightly). Remove and chill for at least 2 hours. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a kumquat slice, if you like. Makes 12 servings.
Note
- *If you don't have macarpone, substitute two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened, for the mascarpone cheese and 3-ounce package of cream cheese.
Tip
- Glazed Kumquats: Halve kumquats. In a small saucepan stir together 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat to simmering, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add kumquats. Cook about 10 minutes or until syrup thickens and kumquats soften. Remove from syrup, allowing excess to drip off, and cool on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
