Mini Cherry Cheesecakes Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 30 wafers)
3 TBSPs butter, melted
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 TSPs lemon juice
1-1/2 TSPs vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
TOPPING:

1 pound pitted canned or frozen tart red cherries
1/2 cup sugar
1 TBSP cornstarch
Red food coloring, optional

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine crumbs and butter; press gently onto bottoms of 12 foil-lined muffin cups.
In another bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla.
Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined.
Spoon over crusts.

Bake until centers are almost set, 12-15 minutes.
Cool completely.

For topping, drain cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice in a saucepan; discard remaining juice.
To reserved juice, add cherries, sugar, cornstarch and, if desired, food coloring.
Bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute.
Cool; spoon over cheesecakes.
Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours.
