Mini Cheesecake Tarts with I Heart Naptime

Hi friends! I’m Jamielyn from I {heart} nap time. Today I’m going to share with you one of my favorite little desserts.

Mini Cheesecake Tarts

Adapted from Our Best Bites

14 Nilla Wafer Cookies

2 8oz packages cream cheese

3/4 C sugar

2 Tbs flour

2 Tbs powdered sugar

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 Tbs fresh lemon juice

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Foil cupcake liners

Optional Toppings:

canned pie filling

fresh berries

whipped cream

chocolate sauce

caramel sauce

lemon curd

Preheat the oven to 375. Soften cream cheese in microwave for 30 seconds if needed. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add in flour and baking powder and beat to combine. Then add in eggs, one at a time, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat until combined.

Fill a muffin pan with cupcake liners and place two vanilla wafer at the bottom of each one. Divide batter between 12 muffin papers, filling each cup up to about 1/4 inch from the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. They’ll puff way up during baking, but they’ll settle after being chilled.

Place them on a cooling rack and let them cool completely. While they cool, they will sink down in the center. Don’t worry- that’s normal! Before you top them, chill in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours. Then top and serve. I used a strawberry glaze and then put strawberries on top.

YUM.. now take a bite! :)

These are REALLY yummy! Oh and we did top them with whip cream as well… mmmm!

Thanks for having me Mom Endeavors fans!
