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.)

Nutrition:Per Serving: 87 calories each, carbs: 8, fat: 5, protein: 2, sodium: 100, calcium: 2


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.

    Sounds really good! Thanks for the recipe.
    You could sub Stevia or Truvia for the sugar and cut the calories even more.

    Another variation: Chocolate cheesecake minis: If chocolate wafers are available, use instead of vanilla wafer in the bottom of each cupcake paper. I couldn't find any, so I used vanilla wafers.

    Make as above for plain cheesecake minis except add to the cream cheese batter 1/4 dark cocoa powder, and a tablespoon or 2 of milk or almond milk to thin the batter down a little. Bake as above. When done, remove from oven and top each mini with 3 Ghiradelli 60% bittersweet chocolate chips. Let them melt and spread across the top of each mini with a small spoon. Cool and refridgerate. 105 calories each, makes 12.

    And an even lower calorie version: 65 calories each, makes 12:

    12 vanilla wafers
    4 oz. 1/3 less fat cream cheese
    4 oz plain non fat Greek yogurt
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1 teasp. vanilla extract

    Preheat oven to 325 F

    Place 12 cupcake papers in muffin tins
    Place a vanilla wafer in each paper, flat side down.
    combine cream cheese, yogurt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed, add egg and vanilla. Beat until very smooth. Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of batter into each cupcake paper to make 12. Bake about 20 minutes. cool and refrigerate. Can top each with a teaspoon of fruit spread, jam or apple or pumpkin butter, not included in calorie count.

    I made these with the gingersnap cookies and added cinnamon to the batter. I was only able to fill 11 muffin cups so the calories were a little higher, but right around 100. I keep them in my freezer and take them out 10 minutes before I want to eat them. They are delicious! I encourage all cheesecake lovers to try them :)
