Plain Mini Cheesecakes: makes 12

12 vanilla wafers
8 oz. neufchatel cream cheese, softened (low fat cream cheese, 1/3 less fat)
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

blend the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth. place 12 medium-sized muffin liners in a muffin pan. place a vanilla wafer in each liner (flat side down). distribute cream cheese mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, about a scant 1/4 cup batter in each. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes. Cool. Refridgerate. Can top each with a teaspoon of fruit preserves if desired (calories for preserves are not included.)

Variation: Spiced mini cheesecakes: makes 12.

Instead of vanilla wafers, use a ginger snap in each muffin liner. Add 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and ground ginger and a pinch of nutmeg to same batter. Bake as above for plain minis. When cool refridgerate. Can top each with a teaspoon of fruit preserves, maybe peach or orange to go with the ginger. Calories for preserves not included in the total.

***Can lighten this recipe up to make 12 plain minis at 65 calories each by using 4 oz. (1/2 of a package) 1/3 less fat cream cheese and 4 oz (1/2 cup) plain greek yogurt. Make as above for plain minis.

bump to save...might sneak this one in for the fam so I can actually enjoy some cheesecake instead of just baking for them!

I must have done something wrong... The wafers are way too small for regular muffin cups, so I used minis, but that's going to make 15 (I used truvia so 60 calories each), and the wafers take 30% of the cup.

I guess we'll see how it turns out...

The regular vanilla wafers I used were also smaller than my muffin cups but they were enough to give them a base. I think vanilla wafers' size has shrunk the past few years (like so many other items!)
