Servings: 18
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup of crumbled vanilla wafers
- 3 tablespoons of melted butter
For the Cheesecake Cupcakes Filling
- 16 oz of softened cream cheese -2 packages-
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 medium-size eggs
- vanilla wafers, caramel syrup, or whipping cream for garnish -if desired-
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Get the cupcake aluminum tray and place the paper baking cup in each muffin space. Spray paper cups with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix the vanilla wafers crumble with the melted butter, and mix well. Pour this mixture evenly into the muffin cups and slightly press down.
- In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, with a hand or electric mixer until blended. Pour the eggs -one at a time- and spoon the filling evenly into the muffin cups -about 3/4 each-.
- Get the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes at room temperature. Remove your muffins from the rack and let them cool completely for about 30 minutes before you can eat them.
- Enjoy! Garnish with whipping cream, caramel, and a vanilla wafer on top. You can also top them with more crumble if you want.
