Description

These petite cheesecakes offer all the rich, creamy satisfaction of a full-sized dessert in a bite-sized portion. Featuring a dense, velvety cream cheese filling infused with vanilla and bright lemon zest, each mini cake sits atop a crisp vanilla wafer that adds a delightful textural contrast. The simple baking process ensures a smooth, crack-free finish every time. Topped with a spoonful of sweet cherry pie filling, they are visually appealing and perfect for parties, potlucks, or as an elegant individual dessert. They are easy to make ahead, making them a reliable choice for any gathering where you want to impress guests without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Line 32 small muffin tin cups with foil baking cups.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon rind, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
  4. Place one vanilla wafer cookie at the bottom of each lined muffin cup.
  5. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture on top of each wafer, filling the cups about halfway.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the centers are just set and slightly jiggle when shaken.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan before serving.
