Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin pan with 18 liners.
  2. Crush cookies until you have ⅓ cup crumbs. Add melted butter & mix well.
  3. Place 1 teaspoon in each cup and press down.
  4. In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, almond extract and egg. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  5. Place cream cheese mixture in a zippered bag and snip off the corner. Evenly fill each well.
  6. Bake 15 minutes or until set. Remove from oven, cool completely and top with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Depending on the size, the vanilla wafers can be put into the muffin pan whole if they fit (and skip the butter).
  • Ensure the cream cheese and egg are at room temperature so it all mixes smoothly. 
  • Mini cheesecake bites freeze beautifully and thaw quickly. If using canned pie filling it will also freeze and thaw well and can be added before or after freezing. 
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
