Spring recipe: Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes
April 20, 2023
Recipe per bar of cream cheese:
- Cream cheese bar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/ 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Nilla brand vanilla wafers
- 1-2 cans of your pie filling of choice (I used strawberry)
- Will also require a gallon Ziploc bag
(To make a full batch 2 bars of cream cheese are needed)
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until most of the cream cheese is broken up
- After the cream cheese is mostly broken up switch to an automatic/mechanical whisk and whisk until the batter is a smooth texture
- While the batter is being whisked line 2 cupcake trays and place a single vanilla wafer round side up per cupcake liner and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- After the batter is whisked smooth, place all the batter into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and snip one of the corners
- Take the batter and fill each liner 3/4 of the way with it
- Place trays into the oven and let cook for 20-40 minutes or until golden brown
(depending on how full each cupcake liner is the cooking time will vary) - While the cheesecakes are in the oven, place the pie filling into a bowl and let it sit in the fridge until the cheesecakes are done cooking
- Pull cheesecakes out of the oven and let sit until fully room temperature (around 15-20 minutes)
- After the cheesecakes are done cooling place at least 2 teaspoons (tsp) of pie filling on top of each cheesecake
- Once done enjoy the cheesecakes and place any remaining in the fridge to stay fresh
