Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 12 ounces vanilla wafer cookies (For the crust; can substitute with chocolate wafer cookies)
  • 2 packages 8 ounces each cream cheese, softened (Forms the creamy filling)
  • ¾ cup white sugar Sweetens the filling
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure and richness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor
  • 1 can 21 ounces cherry pie filling (Topping, or use any berry pie filling)

Equipment

  • 2 Miniature muffin tins You'll need two 24-cup tins to make all 48 mini cheesecakes at once.
  • 1 Paper liners These make it easy to remove and serve the cheesecakes without them sticking.
  • 1 Food processor or resealable plastic bag For crushing the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs.
  • 1 Mixing bowl A medium to large bowl for mixing the filling.
  • 1 Electric mixer A hand mixer or stand mixer makes beating the cream cheese smooth and fluffy much easier.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two 24-cup miniature muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Crush the vanilla wafer cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a resealable bag. Place about ½ teaspoon of the crumbs into each muffin cup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top.
  4. Bake the cheesecakes for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  5. Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely in the muffin tin. Once cooled, top each with a teaspoon of cherry pie filling.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
