About the Recipe

These individual cheesecakes are fun to have and easy to make for a buffet table or party. I play around with the filling, base and topping. I give you permission to do the same. I have even crumbled cookies and doing nothing but put them in the bottom of the paper cups and it works.

Ingredients

16 oz cream cheese                                                      ¾ cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla                                                                   Zest of one lemon

2 eggs                                                                              1 tsp. lemon juice

Large vanilla wafers                                                     Cherry pie filling

 

Preparation

Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and zest of the lemon until smooth then fully incorporate your eggs. Put vanilla wafers or scrap the sides off of Pecan Sandies to fit in bottom of paper cups and place in 20 to 24 muffin tins.  Fill each cup 2/3 full with cheese mixture.  Bake at 375 for 15 min.  Cool and put cherry pie filling, blueberry filling or your favorite pie filling on the top of the cheesecakes.  Refrigerate.
