Found this recipe on Pintrest and I'm in love with it. It makes 64 mini cherry cheesecakes so you can portion control...if you don't eat 20 of them like I did :ohwell:
Here's the website...http://www.bakerella.com/super-easy-mini-cherry-cheesecakes/

and here's the recipe...

2 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese, softened to room temperature (very important!)
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Bite size vanilla wafers
2″ aluminum mini baking cups
Cherry Pie Filling

Place a vanilla wafer in each mini baking cup. Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and lemon juice till smooth. I put it all in a blender to get a really smooth consistency. Spoon approximately 3 Tbsp. of cream cheese mixture over each wafer. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Let cool and top with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate.

I plugged the info into MFP and got 51 calories a piece. You could probably reduce the calories even more using lite cream cheese and splenda but I was making them for a party and didn't want the taste to be off. They were sooo easy to make and sooooo good- they were gone in no time flat. Definitely a keeper!
