Mini Cheesecakes
"Mini Cheesecakes"
Mary Helen Loveless, one of my all-time-favorite Daughters of the American Revolution members gave me this recipe after I tasted them at a DAR meeting many years ago. They're easy, fun and a little different -- I made them for Bluebirds, Boy Scouts, you name it -- and they're ALWAYS a HIT!! Karen Z -- WHOOPS -- see I have these on another part of the recipes - oh, well, it's worth it twice :)
2, 8-oz. Cream Cheese
2 beaten Eggs
3/4 C. Sugar
1 T. Vanilla
1 T. Lemon Juice
24 Vanilla Wafers
24 muffin tin liners
Place a vanilla wafer in the bottom of each liner. Mix the softened cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice (beat until fluffy). Place about 2 T. of batter on top of each vanilla wafer. Bake about 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Chill. Place a bit of strawberry (or other kinds -- even chocolate, etc. -- be creative) jam on top of each.
