Petite Cherry Cheesecakes




Recipe: Petite Cherry Cheesecakes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 12 minutes
Yield: 12 servings
Serving size: 2 mini cheesecakes

Ingredients

  • 24 mini vanilla wafers
  • 4 ounces ⅓ less-fat cream cheese, softened (half of a block of cream cheese)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 24 cherries from light cherry pie filling
  • 24 mini muffin liners

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300° F and line a 24-count mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners. Place 1 vanilla wafer in each cupcake liner, flat side down.
With an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
Add the egg and beat until it is thoroughly incorporated, before beating in the yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla. The batter will be runny.
Fill the liners nearly to the top using a teaspoon measuring spoon, and bake until the cheesecakes are set, 10-12 minutes.
Allow to rest in the muffin tin on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing mini cheesecakes from the tin. The tops will fall slightly after they have cooled.
Place 1 cherry on top of each mini cheesecake. Refrigerate until completely chilled, or overnight.
