Mini Cheese Cakes Recipe

Which section would "Vanilla wafers" be in at the grocery store? Nobody at the grocery store seemed to know what I meant and I couldn't find any.

Vanilla Wafers would be in the cookie section. They're either made by Keebler's or Nabisco.

I made then this morning, and gee~~~ I really cant tell you how good they were because I only got to "sample" 2 of them,

my son and daughter came over and I had them in the fridge. Went out to the barn , and came back and the plate was empty.

I would have to say they were VERY GOOD. I made mine in the mini muffin pans, I got about 36 out of the recipe. The nila wafers were a little bit to big to actually fit all the way down to the bottom of the cups, so I was only able to put a good tablespoon of filling on each one, but they did puff up and it was the ideal size for just a tart size cheesecake. I topped them with smashed up peppermint sticks. Definitely making them at x-mas. Have you ever made pecan tarts with a cream cheese mix cup and pecan filling? Those are really good too. Corinne

AWesome!!! Did you ask your son and daughter how they tasted?

Is that pecan tart recipe easy? Can you tel I like "easy"?

This is the recipe for Pecan Tassies. It was in the bunch of recipes I listed the site for yesterday (listed as "recipes galore"). They're not "as" easy but taste just like tiny pecan pies.

Pecan Tassies

1-3 ounce package cream cheese, softened

1/2 butter or margarine, softened

1 cup All-Purpose Flour

1 large egg

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions: Crust: Blend softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Stir in flour just until blended. Chill about 1 hour. (You can make this ahead and chill it for up to 24 hours if your short on time.) Preheat oven to 325 F. Shape dough into 24 one-inch balls and press into ungreased 1 1/2 inch muffin cups (mini-muffin size)to make a shallow shell. Filling: Beat egg, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, vanilla and salt. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans on dough in muffin tins. Add egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining pecans. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool in pans on wire rack.

[Sterling]

Those all sound YUMMY!!! I think I may take a crack at the turtles for Christmas!! I'll have to dig in my recipe file for more easy recipes. I was looking in there last weekend because we had a family reunion and I did'nt want to take just any bakery pie so I decided to whip up these min cheesecakes and take them along with me. I don't think there were any left AFTER the dinner......everyone took them before...they're that tempting...LOL.....

 

[Sonya]

They look great, I'll have to try it...you said it makes 12...I only see 11 in the first picture

...I know, you just had to test it...lol...

I suppose you can make it with strawberry filling (or whatever filling) instead, I'm not a cherry fan.

I'm glad I was'nt swallowing water at the same time I read this!!

I was wondering if anyone was gonna notice that!!! DH is usually my taste tester ginea pig!

Almost lost one to the pups too!!! BEFORE the filling went on.

Yep you can use whatever filling you want for the top...and others here have given some other good ideas as to toppings too.

 

[Devon]

Wow I want those SO bad I love them!!!!!!!

 

[disneyhorse]

thank you for posting this recipe. My husband is VERY excited that I will be making them for Thanksgiving. He even went shopping with me for the ingredients, and we selected Raspberries for the topping since I'm not crazy about cherries (LOVE them fresh but won't touch most other cherry flavored stuff).

[Denise]

I finally got all the ingredients and am giving them a try tomorrow. Can't wait!

 

[disneyhorse]

I just wanted to bump this WAY up...

I made these for Christmas in '07 and now apparently it is a TRADITION that I have to make them for both family events.

This is a GREAT recipe and SO easy...

You all should try it... I make mine half with raspberry filling and half get Belgian Chocolate chips sprinkled on top prior to baking. Mmmm...
