If you need a quick dessert for a summer party or get together try these perfect party size quick and easy mini cheesecakes. Honestly they are so delicious and are just the right size for a snack anytime.
Change up the toppings on your mini cheesecakes to taste.

For the fourth of July use blueberries and strawberries for a red white and blue fun dessert treat!

- Foil cupcake liners
- Muffin pan

Add eggs to the mixture and continue to mix well.
Pour mixture into each prepared cupcake liner with vanilla wafer. Fill till ¾ of the way full.
