Total Time
40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Nilla wafers
- 2″ aluminum mini baking cups (I only had the regular-sized baking cups, which will work!)
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
1. Mix the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice.
2. Place a vanilla wafer in each baking cup (since my baking cups were too large for this, I crushed the Nilla wafers and put a layer of crushed cookies at the bottom of the baking cup).
3. Spoon approximately 3 Tbsp of cream cheese mixture over each wafer (I used just a bit more than 3 Tbsp).
4. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
5. Let cool and top with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate.
Notes
Your yield will depend on whether or not you use mini baking cups or regular-sized baking cups. If you use the minis, you'll have about 4 dozen mini cheesecakes. If you use the regular-sized cups, you'll have about 2 dozen mini cheesecakes.
