Mini Cheesecake Desserts

You’ll need:

• 1 1/2 8-ounce package soft cream cheese
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 20 – 24 vanilla wafers, crumbled or graham cracker crumbs
• Fruit topping (optional)

Add the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Blend and set aside.

Line a cupcake pan with foil liners (or use spray and no liners) and place a spoonful of your wafer or graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of each.

Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly on top of each mini crust (until it’s about 3/4 full). Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-32 minutes.

Let stand to cool for 15-20 minutes then refrigerate for about one hour.

Add fruit topping or whipped cream (all the good stuff) and indulge! I only made a dozen and they did not last long at all. What’s not to love?

Yummy topping, creamy homemade cheesecake and the best part . . . you don’t have to share!
