Mini Cherry Cheesecakes

Ingredients

• 24 vanilla wafer cookies
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

Place a vanilla wafer into the bottom of each muffin cup.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until fluffy. Spoon mixture into the muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake filling is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Spoon 2 or 3 cherries from pie filling over each cheesecake.
