5 Ingredient Easy Mini Cheesecakes

February 12, 2019 By Kelle

A quick and easy cheesecake recipe for you today.

I posted this recipe a long time ago (like, when Lainey was a baby), and dug through the recipe box to find it again this week. I forgot how easy these are to make, and my kids loved them this time around. They’re the perfect little Valentine dessert without a terrible amount of sugar. Little individual-sized desserts always feel extra special, and the red fruit topping makes these festive for Valentine’s Day. Here’s what you’ll need:

2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
12 vanilla wafers
Optional: Fruit topping

Preheat oven to 350. In mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Beat 5 minutes. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Place one vanilla wafer in each cup. Divide cream cheese mix evenly over wafers in cups. Bake about 20 minutes (until toothpick comes up clean). Refrigerate. Serve with fruit topping. Serves 12.

    Hi Kelle,
    I’m in Europe so our vanilla waffers look completely different.
    What kind of other biscuit can I use?
    I would love to make this awesome recipe, my son would love it. 🙂
    Thanks!

      Ah yes–so these are by Nabisco and are a flat wafer (there called Nilla). I’m looking online for something comparable–can’t find vanilla, but you could probably have a a chocolate crust cheesecake by using a flat chocolate wafer or even the top of an Oreo. The Nillas are nice and buttery though, so they help make that nice crust. I wonder too if even shortbread would work.

        Thanks Kelle. What we usually use for cheesecakes it’s Digestive cookies. I probably try with that.
