Cheesecake Bites Recipe

Ingredients

12 vanilla wafers, or chocolate wafers

16 oz cream cheese, softened (2 packages)

½ cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 cup jam, flavor as desired

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Line muffin tins with foil or paper liners.

Place one vanilla wafer in the bottom of each muffin cup.

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy before adding the sugar and vanilla. Mix well.

Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl before adding the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

Divide filling between muffin cups. Each gets ¾ full.

An optional method before baking is to place a teaspoon of the jam onto the muffin and use a toothpick to swirl the jam into the batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set.

Let the cheesecakes cool completely in the cups before removing them from the pan.

Chill in an airtight container for at least 2 hours before serving.

Gently peel the paper off the cups before serving. Enjoy a sweet and creamy batch of Cheesecake Bites!
