The Challenge- Dessert

Published January 13, 2012

Invited a couple of people over tomorrow night. Still hadn’t decided what to make for dessert. Having posted it on Facebook I got some ideas. Since I am still eating and cooking out of what is on hand I have to make do with what is already here. Good news- I haven’t really been baking much this week so I have plenty of ingredients to choose from. Sarah Scherer mentioned little cheesecakes with wine jelly on the top. Sounds yummy. While I am still deciding on dessert here is a quick and easy recipe for mini cheesecakes. The recipe only makes 6 cheesecakes but can easily be multiplied.

Mini Cheesecakes

6 vanilla wafers

1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

1/4 c. sugar

1 t. vanilla

1 egg

Line 6 muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 wafer in each. Beat together remaining ingredients for 1 minute with electric mixer. Divide this mixture in the muffin tins, filling each 3/4 full. Bake 25 minutes at 325 degrees. Cool and decorate with fruit topping, if desired. Makes 6. These can be frozen. Serves 2-3.
