These mini cheesecakes were the perfect size. They were super easy and everyone loved them. I adapted them from a recipe from the Nabisco website. I actually got more than 12 out of this recipe (I think it made 16).
Mini Cheesecakes
24 NILLA Wafers, divided
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup strawberry preserves (I used homemade triple berry preserves)
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place 1 cookie in each of 12 paper-lined muffin cups. Combine cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Spoon evenly into prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 20 to 25 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, drizzle melted chocolate evenly over remaining 12 cookies. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate is firm.
Top each cheesecake with 1 tsp. preserves and 1 decorated cookie just before serving. Store leftover cheesecakes in refrigerator.
Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 6 hr 5 min
Makes: 12 servings, 1 mini cheesecake each

Ya know. This recipe might not be in the right format…it’s several years old. I will try to get it fixed for you. 🙂 Glad to hear someone uses the recipe box.

We tried these and they are awesome-we did substitute the white chocolate for dark chocolate but still a wonderful recipe-Thanks Wendy!!

Hi Wendy. I apologize for not getting your badge up. I am not sure what happened because I did put it on my other blog and I usually do both together. Anyway, it is fixed now and I will be more careful.

These look wonderful. I am not sure if I like the idea of portion controlled cheesecake though 🙂 Just kidding. They look great and I'm going to be saving your recipe.

Yum! I think mini anything are so much fun — but these are so adorable AND serving sized. This would be a huge hit with my family!
