![]() ![]() Cheesecake, for me, is always one of the most tempting dessert items. The raspberry topping I stole from my Raspberry Cream Shooter recipe. In a medium bowl, mix the crumbs with the pinches of cinnamon. ![]() Place a cupcake liner in each muffin cup and place a vanilla wafer in the bottom of each one. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract beat until mixed well. The cream cheese layer is my mom’s recipe (via a dear friend and chef, Lanie), but I added a bit of lemon juice. Process the vanilla wafers in a food processor until crumb-like. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy. I had to come up with another solution, so I developed a crust. Looking online, I discovered that others are saying the wafers are being made smaller now. However, as I was having Kenzie stick all of my Nilla wafers into the cups they didn’t fill the bottom of the muffin tin (regular sized muffin tin…no the mini muffin tins). It used to be that the Nilla Wafer crust was just a Nilla Wafer. All that said, these mini cheese cakes are fabulous. I have no desire to pursue my “Bites” concept, but if you want to steal it and give me 10% of everything, go for it. I’ve always thought it would be fun to create a restaurant or food line called “Bites,” because I always just want a bite of everything on the menu. As I was doing multiple desserts, the idea was to make them all mini so that people could choose a few to try. The Mini Cheesecake is something my mom has made a number of times. I’ll be giving you all of the dessert recipes and then showing you the final baby shower results. Therefore, I don’t have as much mommy guilt while I turn my kitchen upside-down trying to create multiple desserts. I always give them the option to help, and they always want to be involved. I’m so glad my kids like helping in the kitchen. What? Do I think I’m Betty Crocker? Apparently. It was a dessert shower, so my kitchen exploded into a bakery. Last weekend I hosted a baby shower for a dear friend. It’s going to be a sweet week here at Meaningful Mama, and I mean literally. ![]()
