Mini Cheese Cakes

Original Recipe from:  Virginia Bowers-Johnson

If you like cheese cake, you are going to love these mini cheese cakes.  So very easy to make and fun to serve.  These bite sized treats are just plain delicious!  I made them for Easter dinner and by the end of the day, I only had a few left.  The Village Taste Testers are still talking about the Strawberry Mini Cheese Cakes I made for them.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

8 ounces Cream Cheese (I use Neufchatel)

1 Egg

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

Vanilla Wafers

1 can Pie Filling (Strawberry, Cherry, or Blueberry)

Directions

Beat together Cream Cheese, Egg, Sugar and Vanilla until light and fluffy.

Line miniature muffin pans (1-3/4’ diameter) with paper baking cups.  Place a vanilla wafer in the bottom of each cup.  (Note:  you may have to trim the vanilla wafers to fit). 

Fill cups with rounded teaspoon of Cream Cheese mixture.  Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 minutes. 

Let cool and top each one with pie filling.  Keep refrigerated.
