Made this recipe off hand because I couldn't find a good "mini-cheese cake" recipe. The mini-cheese cakes ended up more like muffins, less dense than traditional cheese cake. Taste similar to a danish.

How To Make cheesecake muffins

  • Step 1
    Cream room temperature cream cheese and sugar.
  • Step 2
    Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
  • Step 3
    Slowly add cake flour, beating well after each addition.
  • Step 4
    Lightly grease the inside of the cupcake baking cups with cooking spray (this makes the final muffin pull out of the paper a lot easier).
  • Step 5
    Place wafer cookies in the bottom of cupcake baking cups in a 12 muffin pan.
  • Step 6
    Spoon an even amount of the mixture into each cupcake cup.
  • Step 7
    Top each muffin with a maraschino cherry.
  • Step 8
    Cook until a fork comes out clean and edges are golden brown.
