¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

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.

    Preheat oven to 325 F
