Mini Cheesecakes
Easy and delicious mini cheesecakes – perfect for a quick and yummy dessert!
Ingredients
- 24 Nilla Wafer Cookies
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened, 2 packages)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp 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
Instructions
-
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. :)

This looks delicious and adorable – a good combination. Must try these out soon.

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..
