With Holiday Time coming, this is an easy yet always raved about recipe I use at Holiday time and throughout the year.
One for you Not Here!!! :) ;)
Mini Cheese Cakes
Ingredients:
16 oz Cream Cheese
1 C. Sugar
2 eggs well beaten
1 TBsp Almond or Vanilla Extract ( I prefer almond or flavour of your choice )
1/4 - 1/3 C. Sour Cream
Vanilla wafer cookies i.e. Nabisco
Vanilla wafer crumbs
Varied Fresh Fruit or Fruit toppings
Reynolds muffin wrappers with foil outside, paper inside
Method:
Preheat Oven to 375 F
Arrange muffin wrappers on cookie sheet
Place one vanilla wafer in bottom of muffin wrapper
Food process or crush additional vanilla wafers...you can add some ground nuts and/or coconut, additional flavouring extract to the crumbs and fill gap around wafer in bottom of muffin wrapper
Use Food Processor ( which I use ) or mixer and beat eggs, sugar & extract until well beaten
Add sour cream and cream cheese broken up in smaller peaces....beat until smoooth
Fill muffin cups bout 3/4 full with cream cheese mixture
Bake 13-14 minutes, until firm but not brown
Let cool
Serve plain or top with sliced fruit such as strawberry, kiwi, berries or fruit topping such as cherry, blueberry etc.
Freezes well, however freeze without fruit toppings
**note** you can change up the recipe to add chocolate marble by adding some cocoa to a portion the mixture, or marble with preserves, add some chopped up gourmet or chocolate of your choice as a variation **
Yield:
24 if Medium Muffin Cups used - 15-16 if large muffin cups used.
