With A Cherry On Top

Mini Cheesecakes! I saw these on Bakerella's blog and wanted to try them.
1) Instead of the foil cups she used I just used plain white ones (they were all that was available).
2) I took step-by-step pictures this time. Not sure if it's worth it or not, or if they're even interesting to look at, but I did it!
3) I'm not sure why all the pics on the blog tend to 'lean' to one side of the screen when posted. When I figure it out I'll try to fix it.

Without further adieu....

The ingredients for this one are very simple.

Ingredients
2 blocks cream cheese
3/4 Cup sugar
1 T vanilla
1 T lemon juice
3 eggs

All the ingredients in the bowl.

After mixing, I thought the batter was *really* thick... then I figured out why. Duh, forgot to add the eggs.

There we go! That's more like it.

Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin cups, then drop a mini Nilla wafer into each cup. Mini mini mini!!!

Pour a tablespoon of the batter on top

Bake @ 350 degrees for 17 minutes
Crap, I deleted my baking photo. Boo hiss. But here's something really weird that happened! With the second batch, about 8 of the cheesecake's nilla wafer crusts randomly floated to the top. They were dotted all over the pan, so I have no clue what would cause this. Weird!

Let cool, then top each with a dollop of cherry pie filling. Refrigerate.

Pretty!

They turned out very cute. I'm not big on the taste... the wafer gets a little soggy and the whole thing just tasted like a ball of cheesecake filling. I guess I prefer a graham cracker crust. But for a quick easy treat to bring to a party or something, these would probably be a hit!
