Don't these look yummy? My mom always made these. I remember them on Valentine's Day the most--but she used canned cherry pie filling for the topping, and I wanted to try something different this time. I did a mini-version using mini wafers and mini liners for a RS get together. I didn't have time to let them all cool properly, so the toppings melted on some and they looked horrible--but everyone STILL ate them! They were just too delicious.
Appx 12 normal-sized Nilla Wafer Cookies (a little more than double for the minis)
2 8oz pkgs cream cheese
3/4 C Sugar
2 Tbs flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 375. Soften cream cheese. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add flour and baking pwd, then add lemon juice, vanilla, and eggs. Beat to combine.
Fill muffin pan with liners and add a wafer to the bottom of each. Fill each cup just under the top. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. They are way puffy when they're hot, but they settle into a little well during cooling.
Once the've deflated, chill in the fridge (or only a little while in the freezer if you get impatient like me ;D) for 4-6 hours. Then top them with anything that goes great with cheesecake!
