Individual Cheesecakes

 Individual cheesecake
 
16 oz light cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, well-beaten
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
40 vanilla wafers, Keebler or Nabisco work best
 
1 can Wilderness cherry pie filling.  The cheaper varieties don’t have enough cherries for two per cheesecake.

Ind Cheesecakes Whip first four ingredients until well-blended, light and airy. Place cookies upside down in mini muffin liners on a cookie sheet (about 40). Spoon cream cheese mixture into each cup. Bake at 350° for 15-17 minutes.  When cool, top with a dollop of pie filling.  These freeze quite well.  Put on a cookie sheet one deep, place in the freezer and when thoroughly frozen, remove from the cookie sheet and place in a freezer bag, then the freezer. 

HINT: While traveling I found Reynolds Mini Foil Baking Cups and started my hoard with a purchase of 20 boxes. They're 2" in size and a perfect fit for the vanilla wafers.
