A friend from work recently shared this receipt with me and I have to say - I'm quite crazy about it. Not only is it quick, and easy to make, but requires very few ingredients and avoids the hassle of the traditional Springform pan. Instead, the mini cakes are baked in a muffin pan creating just the right serving of this delicious dessert. My four-year old enjoy 'designing' the individual cheesecakes.
Mini cheesecakes (makes 12)
12 vanilla wafers
16 oz cream cheese
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
toppings of choice
Preheat oven to 325. Use muffin liners and place one wafer in each liner.
Mix cream cheese, vanilla, sugar until well blended then add eggs and mix well.
Fill liners 3/4 full and bake 25 minutes.
Remove and cool and chill before topping with fruit, nuts, chocolate, Carmel or whatever your mind can create.
