As it comes as no surprise, my Valentine is Mr. Grumbles.
Just like these White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins, Mr. Grumbles has a crusty exterior with a soft and loveable interior!
Knowing that his favourite dessert would have some strawberry and cheesecake component, I decided to make a version of my Strawberry Cheesecake into individual muffins for the perfect portion-controlled treat.
Why did you only make 6 muffins and not the standard 12 muffins that most recipes call for?
- there are only 2 people in our house so 6 muffins are enough for us
- it is always easier to double a recipe than it is to divide a recipe (at least it is for me!) so if you do want to make 12 muffins, simply double the ingredients (but do not add any additional baking time)
*UPDATE*
Mr. Grumbles liked these muffins so much that he requested them again so this time I made them into 12 muffins. Therefore, this new recipe calls for 12 muffins instead of 6 but feel free to cut the recipe in half if you only want 6 muffins.

- if your jam seems to thin, simply stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Leave the jam for an hour to allow the chia seeds to thicken the jam
- if you don't want to make your own jam, simply buy store-bought instead
- feel free to make this with raspberry, blueberry or blackberry jam instead
- don't worry if the white chocolate cheesecake muffins drop or crack when they are removed from the oven as the jam will cover any imperfections
