NANCY'S MINI CHEESECAKES

Got the basic recipe from a friend years ago who made them for my wedding shower. Well, the marriage didn't last, but this cheesecake recipe sure has! I've tweaked it along the way and made it my own. All of my friends and family know they can count on me to bring these little yummies with me to any gathering I'm invited--bdays, New Year's, picnics--everyone loves Nancy's Mini Cheesecakes! I think people luv them because they're light and fluffy (not as dense as big NY-style cheesecakes), which lends itself to eating more than one! ? P.S. Although this recipe yields 1 1/2 dozen, I usually double everything and make a full 3 dozen. Enjoy!

  • Take cheesecakes out of oven and let cool for 10-15 mins.

These aren't done with graham wafers, but with vanilla wafer cookies. They are fast, easy and excellent! Top with your favorite fruit pie filling.
