A wonderful little cheesecake for a dessert buffet. It is incredibly easy to make and looks and tastes very impressive. I saw Paula Deen make them on FoodTV and I couldn't wait to try them myself. Use canned pie filling, fresh fruit or use your imagination!

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 vanilla wafers
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (or whatever else suits your fancy) or 1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling (or whatever else suits your fancy)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup (12 total) of muffin pan.
  • Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.

  • Chill thoroughly before serving.

CRISPY CHEESE WAFERS RECIPE



Crispy Cheese Wafers Recipe image

Everyone simply loves these because they are extra crunchy from the addition of rice cereal. I strongly suggest serving these round wafers alongside a dish of pepper jelly and a block of softened cream cheese or log of goat cheese. Smear a little cheese on a wafer and top with a dab of the jelly to form a perfect bite. Repeat often. Luckily this recipe makes about 4 dozen wafers, so you might have just enough to go around. You can find this recipe and more in The Southern Living Community Cookbook: Celebration Food and Fellowship in the American South by Sheri Castle.

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crisp rice cereal

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Mix together cheese, butter, flour, red pepper, Worcestershire and salt in a large bowl until mixture forms a ball that lightly sticks together and pulls in all the flour. (Hands might work best for this).

  • The wafers can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them warm, you can top them with butter, syrup, or fruit. If you're serving them cold, you can dust them with powdered sugar or dip them in chocolate sauce.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese wafers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. They're also a great way to use up leftover cream cheese.
