Mini Cheesecakes

 

• 2 (8 oz) cream cheese
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla powder
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 tbsp orange curacao
• 1 tsp orange peel
• 18 vanilla wafers
• 18 tsp. graham cracker crumbs
• cherry pie filling (Clearbrook Farms Cherry Fruit Tart)
• 1-2 Tablespoons melted butter to line cups.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar, orange peel and orange curacao. Butter each cup. Place a vanilla wafer in the bottom of each muffin cup. Top each wafer with 1 teaspoon graham cracker crumbs.  Pour batter into cups, bake 20 minutes. Let cool, and then refrigerate for a couple of hours. Top with cherry tart filling.

 

I used silicon muffin cups in a muffin pan with good results.
