Mom’s (Rose’s) Bite-Sized Cheesecakes
I’ve kept this recipe since I was in St. Margaret’s Grammar School. My mother and I used to make these two-bite cheesecakes for every one of their numerous bake sales.
3/4 cups sugar
2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
box vanilla wafers
Beat all ingredients until fluffy. Place 1 vanilla wafer in lined cupcake pan (use small liners).
Fill 2/3 full with cheese mixture.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
When cool, top with spoon of pie filling.*
*Or whatever you’d like to top the cheesecakes with. For the Dance Fest, I used a dollop of lemon curd and 3 to 4 fresh blueberries because it was blueberry season. Sliced strawberries would work or any kind of fresh berry or even fruit jam.
