Cheesecake Cups

I had made this several years ago, but lost the recipe. I finally came across it and hope you like the share. It's easy and oh so tasty. This is a recipe that can be tweaked any way you'd like. Almond extract has been used in place of vanilla. But if you prefer a more "traditional" taste, stick to the recipe. Any type of cookie can be used as a base even homemade crusts. Also toppings are endless!!!! From fresh fruit to chocolate and caramel or just plain. I've even added food coloring to chocolate chips even fresh strawberries to the batter. Anything goes~

How to Make Cheesecake Cups

Step-by-Step

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin pans with cupcake papers. Place one wafer cookie in the bottom of each cupcake paper.
2In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour over wafers in cupcake papers [about 2/3 full].
3Bake in preheated oven 17-20 minutes, until golden and set.
4Let cups set until firm and cool. If you want to eat them immediately place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before eating, otherwise leave cups in refrigerator overnight.
5When ready to eat add toppings as desired and enjoy!
