I love this recipe to give a perfect snack sized cheesecake. Instead of using vanilla wafers I did make a graham cracker crust to go with it other then that I followed the recipe to a T.

PERFECT CHEESECAKE! This was honestly probably the best cheesecake I have ever tasted. I expected it to be decent, but it beat my expectations for sure! I recommend this recipe to anyone who likes cheesecake, you won't be disappointed! The only thing I suggest is to use Philly cream cheese the store brand doesn't cut it, I've made it with store brand and name brand and it deff. makes a difference. And make sure the cream cheese is room temperature or it just gets chunky not smooth. This is deff. a keeper for me!

These came out excellent! I used a mock Oreo crust (I submitted the recipe, so look under my name) and filled 24 regular cupcake liners. I only baked them for 14 minutes (until the sides are firm, but the centers are still wobbly), so for mini muffin tins I would guess the baking time is too long!

This was a super easy and really yummy recipe. I left the Nilla wafers whole and they worked perfectly. Once you pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie, let them sit for 4-5 min so that the cookie gets a little soft. (Otherwise, the center of the cookie was still crunchy) These baked for 11-12 min in my oven. Also, I didn't bother with a water bath and they cooked evenly and the cookie didn't burn. I took them out of the oven and placed the whole muffin tin on a wire cooling rack inside my fridge, which cooled them off quickly, allowing me to free up the pan for another batch.

Like so many reviewers I've been making this recipe for well over 20 years. It's a Christmas staple and because I double and triple the recipe I freeze most of them. They thaw in a matter or minutes so are very handy if company or cravings pop in. Also, like so many others I use a whole cookie instead of crumbs for the base. Using a graham crust changes the flavour so I never use it. This is a perfect basic recipe to build on according to your imagination. Try spooning a bit of sugar sweetened sour cream on top. Divine. Add a bit of lemon juice to the cream cheese then top with well drained canned pineapple bits. OR top baked cheesecakes with lemon pudding and garnish with fresh pineapple or any fruit you wish. Thank you for submitting this great basic recipe and thanks to those reviewing and adding your own twist.

This was a great recipe! I made these tonight for a work function tomorrow, and I made the following adjustments. Instead of vanilla wafers, I used cinnamon sugar pita chips, which I crunched up and mixed with a little melted butter. I baked at 325/350 (my oven runs a little hot), and I left off the cherry pie topping and added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Fantastic. Turned out exactly as I hoped.
