Look at these, aren’t they cute?
They’re cute little cups of cheesecake filled with delectable strawberry tastes. They’re small enough that you can eat a couple of these without feeling guilty, but they also do help to satisfy that dessert craving that you can definitely enjoy.
The beauty of this, is that the little strawberry on top really does add a nice touch to it, and its perfect for those who are interested in making sure that they get the best cheesecake taste possible, but also a nice, sweet touch of the strawberry cheesecake that really makes this recipe as good as it is.
Ingredients :
2 8oz pkgs of cream cheese (softened to Room Temp)
3/4 cup of Sugar
3 (large) eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, if you can!)
Dash or 2 of lemon zest (optional)
Mini Nilla Wafers (REGULAR! none of that Low Fat shit..)
1 can pie filling of your choice (Strawberry is always a win
Steps
The first thing you do is you need to take a cupcake pan and then fill it with some liners, and then, put the little mini wafers in there, with the side that’s mounded upwards.
Take all of the ingredients for the filling and put it together. This includes the sugar, the cream cheese, whatever extract you decide to choose, the lemon juice, the eggs, and the lemon zest if you’re looking to add a lemony texture to this.
Take the blender and cream everything within this using a mixture that’s electric until everything is super smooth, almost like silk.
Take the cupcake liners and the fill this to about ¾ full of the filling. Don’t worry that it will be a little bit low, they actually do a major puff-up when they get cooked, and they do die down with a little dip within the middle, so don’t be afraid if it seems like it’s a bit wrong.
Put these in the oven, and then bake this at 350 for about 18-20 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked.
From there, let them sit to cool before you decide to put the filling in. this is something that can be sped up if you put it in the fridge. Do not put them in the freezer as they are fragile and a little brittle, so they might break.
From there, take the contents for the filling, and then, use a bowl, combine all of this together until it’s completely smoothed out.
Drizzle a little helping of the filling on top of each of the cheesecake cups.
Take them and put them back into the fridge once more. let this sit to chill for about another hour, or until you pull it out, jiggle it a bit, and there’s barely any jiggle. There you have it, you have the perfect cupcake treats that’ll really send your tastebuds soaring to the next level.
