Mini Cheesecakes
Ingredients
- 12 Girl Scout shortbread cookies or Lorna Doones
- 2 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 C. sugar
- 1/3 C. heavy cream or evaporated milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 can pie filling or preserves
Directions
Line muffin tins with cupcake papers and place one cookie in bottom of each. Mix together cream cheese, eggs, sugar, cream, vanilla and lemon juice until well blended and divide into the muffin tins. Bake in 350 degrees oven 15 minutes or until set. Cool and top with pie filling.
Remove cheesecakes from oven after 12 minutes. Spoon a bit of the sour cream mixture on top of each cheesecake and carefully spread it around (doesn't have to cover). Return cheesecakes to oven for 1 minute. Turn off oven. Leave cheesecakes in oven for 5 additional minutes. Top with fresh fruit before topping is completely set.
Variation: Top with fresh fruit instead of pie filling. Mix 1/2 C. sour cream with 2 Tbs. sugar.
