Mini Cheesecakes

These tiny desserts are great to share or bring to a party. As far as cheesecakes go, these are way easier than using a springform pan and trying to make your own traditional cheesecake. The small size also makes the flavor customizable (and we do so just by using toppings). We always make a batch of cherry and a batch of blueberry (and a few plain). They work best using a 12 cupcake/standard muffin pan. You will need to use cupcake liners. 

Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
Nilla wafers
Cherry and/or blueberry topping (pie topping works great)

Preheat oven to 375.
Mix first five ingredients together.
Line cupcake pan with liners and place one Nilla cookie in the bottom of each. Fill with cheesecake mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Cool completely, top with fruit, and refrigerate.
