Ingredients:

• 2 8-ounce packages of low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• dash of lemon zest
• Mini Nilla Wafers (make sure these are the regular kind, not the reduced fat kind otherwise the wafers will actually float up to the top!)
• 1 can cherry pie filling

Directions:

1. Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature. If it’s not, the batch will come out clumpy.
2. Mix together cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth (use an electric mixer).
3. Line up mini baking cups and place a mini Nilla Wafer face-up inside each one.
4. Scoop mixture onto wafer, filling cup 3/4 full.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
6. Refrigerate. Once chilled, scoop cherry pie filling atop each mini cheesecake. Chill again.
