Mini Cheesecakes


I haven't been able to write in awhile! Nor have I been able to actually cook anything...so sad. :/

Nursing school is very difficult! More difficult than I thought it would be! I need to study a lot...but I don't! My laziness has finally taken its toll! I always feel as though I am behind and I barely passed my first nursing exam! I can't wait for winter break already!

I know, I watch wayyy too much TV! I just can't cut it down! :/

These cheesecakes were from the wedding I catered for in August. I kind of burned some of them because I was in such a hurry. The ones that weren't burnt tasted great though!

If it's your first time making cheesecake, make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent clumps.

Recipe from Allrecipes.

Mini Cheesecake Recipe: 
Makes 12 Mini cheesecakes

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup and 2 tbsp white sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 (21) oz can cherry pie filling
1 package (6 crackers) graham crackers
3 tbsp melted butter

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Crush the graham crackers and mix with melted butter. Place around 1 tbsp of the graham cracker mix into each paper cup and press down to make the crust.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fill each muffin liner with this mixture.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool. Top with cherry pie filling.
