Mini Cheesecakes

SUBMITTED BY: Ginny  PHOTO BY: MOLLE888 

"These aren't done with graham wafers, but with vanilla wafer cookies and are fast, easy and excellent! These are great to give away during the holidays! For a pretty presentation, you can top each one with a rosette of sweetened cream cheese or whipped cream right before serving. Any flavor fruit filling will do."
