I have used this recipe for many years and it's always a hit. I omit the nutmeg. Instead of canned pie filling for a topping, I use seasonal fresh fruit (blueberries, sliced strawberries, kiwi, thin sliced Meyers lemons, etc.) or shaved chocolate. Topped whipped cream (or reversing the order and putting the whipped cream on, then the fruit), they make a very special treat. For a casual get-together I have presented the cheesecakes plain and in small bowls, set out an array of toppings so everyone can have fun making their own creation to enjoy.

instead of leaving the nilla wafers whole, i crushed the nilla wafers and combined them with graham cracker crust but it still turned out great

Also try this with an Oreo for the crust.

I personally didn't like the strong nutmeg flavor of these cheesecakes. They were also difficult to eat - the vanilla wafer crust was overly soggy, they stuck to the cupcake liners, and the cherry pie filling on top was extremely messy. However, they looked very festive for Valentine's Day.

This was by far the best little cheesecake for a crowd! Incredibly easy and sweet to eat! I followed the others advice and doubled the vanilla, but omitted the nutmeg. I did have to bake for 25 min..but that may just be my oven misbehavin. Easy to freeze so I didnt have that to worry about when needed. I will be using this recipe forever. Everyone loved them! Thank you!

These were good. They weren't exactly like cheesecake, but they were still good.

These are very simple to make and very eye catching as well as versatile. I went by the recipe exactly but omitted the nutmeg; overpowers vanilla and takes away from cream cheese. I added two simple extras for added taste and texture, after placing wafers i made a small batch of graham cracker crust w/butter & grams mix until crumbly...sprinkled gram mixture on top of wafers, filling in around its edges (1 tsp-1 1.2tsp) i aslo topped my dark sweet cherry topping w/some Natures Valley 100% Natural crunchy granola bars OATS 'N HONEY-crumbled up in ziplock bag then sprinkled on top.
