You'll capture the hearts of all your Valentine’s Day guests with these easy to make Miniature "Sweetheart" Cheesecakes by offering the objects-of-your-affection a rich selection of blueberry, red cherry and lemon toppings.
♥ Miniature "Sweetheart" Cheesecakes ♥
2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
18 vanilla wafers
18 cupcake papers
1 can blueberry, red cherry or lemon pie filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake papers in muffin tin; spray each paper lightly with cooking spray; set aside. Put 1 vanilla wafer in the bottom of each cupcake paper (this is the crust or platform). Blend cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture into cupcake papers, filling 2/3 full.
Bake for 15 minutes; allow to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Place in refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours; carefully peel papers away from mini-cheesecake. Top with your favorite pie filling(s) and a tiny dollop of whipped topping, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
One recipe makes 18 Miniature "Sweetheart" Cheesecakes. It's wise to double this recipe as these yummy little devils disappear quickly.
