Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with foil or paper cupcake liners. (5 minutes)
02
Step
Place one vanilla wafer cookie at the bottom of each prepared cupcake liner. This forms the base of your mini cheesecakes. (5 minutes)
03
Step
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps. (5 minutes)
04
Step
Gradually add the beaten eggs to the cream cheese mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed. (3 minutes)
05
Step
Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the vanilla wafers in each liner, filling each about 3/4 full. (5 minutes)
06
Step
Bake in the preheated oven until the centers are almost set but still slightly wobbly. This should take approximately 20 minutes.
07
Step
Remove from oven and let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before refrigerating. (30 minutes)
08
Step
Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow them to fully set and chill. (120 minutes)
09
Step
Before serving, spoon a generous amount of cherry pie filling on top of each cheesecake cupcake. (5 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
If you prefer a different topping, try blueberry pie filling, chocolate ganache, or fresh berries.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
Do not overbake the cheesecakes; a slight wobble in the center is perfect.
