Mini Cheesecakes
Easy and delicious mini cheesecakes – perfect for a quick and yummy dessert!
I hosted a pampered chef party the other night (which was soo fun) and I decided to try out these mini cheesecakes. They turned out SO delicious! YUMMY! They were really easy to make too. I will definitely be making them again soon. Give them a try!
These are so fun to make with different toppings as well. We love making them with all kinds of different fruits. They also taste delicious with chocolate sauce on top!
Mini Cheesecakes
Ingredients:
- 24 Nilla Wafer Cookies
- 2 8oz packages cream cheese (softened)
- 3/4 C sugar
- 2 Tbs flour
- 2 Tbs powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 Tbs fresh lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Foil cupcake liners
*Optional Toppings:* - canned pie filling
- fresh berries
- whipped cream
- chocolate sauce
- caramel sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl beat cream cheese and sugar. Add in flour and baking powder and beat until combined. Then mix in powdered sugar, eggs, one at a time, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Fill a muffin pan with cupcake liners and place two vanilla wafers at the bottom of each one. Divide batter between 12 liners, filling each cup up to about 1/4 inch from the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
When you take them out of the oven, place them on a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Before you place your toppings on, chill in the fridge for at least 2-4 hours.. Then top and serve. My favorite topping is fresh strawberries. :)

YUM!
How many cups does this recipe make?
It makes about a dozen! :)
Mini as in mini cupcake pan and liners? You used two vanilla mini wafers ? Why are you using two liners? One regular, one foil. Sorry to have questions, but you didn’t see clear on these items
I use a regular cupcake pan and regular vanilla wafers! The foil liners are just for looks! :)
Oh good heavens- it’s okay to eat more than one – right??!! :)
The mini cheesecakes … did you use one of those “bite-sized” muffin tins (24 cupcakes) or the regular-sized muffin tins (6 cupcakes)?
Thanks,
Jody
I used a regular muffin tin that made 12 muffins! :)
Dobyou refridgerate
Yes, I refrigerate these. :)
What is the powder sugar for
It’s used in the cheesecake filling :)
can you freeze these?
Yes! I’d wrap each tightly in plastic wrap, first. :)
Can you make these with graham cracker crumbs instead of the wafers?
I have made these for years. Great dessert. I have used chocolate cream cheese too, which makes a really nice dessert too..
