Cheesecake Bites

Bake at 350. Yield 4 dozen.

Made in a mini cupcake pan, these bite size cheesecake tarts are always a hit - at parties, in the classroom or for holidays. Quick and easy to make, they can actually be made ahead of time and topped with fruit filling when serving.

1 (12 oz.) package vanilla wafer
2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese
3/4 C granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line miniature muffin tins (tassie pans) with miniature paper liners.
  2. Crush the vanilla wafers, and place 1/2 teaspoon of the crushed vanilla wafers into each paper cup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fill each miniature muffin liner with this mixture, almost to the top.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool. Top with a teaspoonful of cherry pie filling.
