very disappointed, cant say how it taste but the looks disappoint! the vanilla wafers floated to the top of the batter and thats how the baked up, so there will be no crust on the bottom, the crust will be under the topping. I don's see that this happened to anybody else. I used name brand vanilla wafers, and they are smaller then the muffin tin, if anyone knows who to fix the problem please let me know. Made for a potluck and not going to be very proud to serve them.

YUM! Made them with Oreo's as the crust and omitted the TBSP of lemon juice.They sunk in abit on the sides after cooling, next time I would fill them almost to the brim of the muffin papers.

My recipe that I have used for years is identical to this recipe accept for the lemon juice. I have been making them without lemon juice and they turn out perfectly fine. So if you don't have it, don't worry about it. I'm going to try it with the lemon juice next time to see if there is a difference. I have always used cherry pie filling by putting one cherry on each cheesecake. They look very pretty when served on a decorative platter. Especially festive for Christmas. Because it makes so many, I filled a plate of these, threw a few holiday candies around it, wrapped in cellophane, put a bow on it and gave as gifts. FYI-if you chill your pie filling before you top them, it is easier to do because it's not as runny and you don't get as much juice from the fruit. Yummy and very easy 1 bowl recipe.

Not only are these easy to make, but the cheesecake is so creamy and tasty that you don't need a topping. These are quick to make and easy to serve to company.

I get raves when I was using this recipe. You can use preserves as well as as prepared pie filling. When using pie filling remember that you do not need all the sauce. I use my serving spoon that is slotted. to get the fruit pieces on to the cakes. And just spoon a small amount of the sauces as needed to dover the little cakes. Jeanne

Try ginger snaps in place of the nilla wafers and apple pie filling in place of the apricot preserves. YUMMO!

If you are going to go with chocolate wafers (from Oreos) instead of Vanilla Wafers(for the crust), I would omit the TBLS. of lemon juice.
I make these all the time and they are delicious! You can also use the chocolate wafer from an Oreo cookie instead of a vanilla wafer. I also will throw on some mini chocolate chips before baking. My family LOVES them.I have tried making them with Splenda because my Mom is diabetic.....I did not like them with Splenda AT ALL.

I do not think this is a light and healthy recipe. 4 g of fat and over 100 cal. is too much. The comment about using for a diabetic is much better and I will try that. NJ
