Mom’s Recipe – Little Cherry Cheesecakes

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 16 ozs. cream cheese, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 24 Vanilla Wafers
  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin pans with paper cupcake liners and place one vanilla wafer in each cup. Set aside. Beat well the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla and divide among the wafer-lined cups. Bake about 15 mins. Cool. Top with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate until cold before serving.

These are a family favorite. You can substitute peach, blueberry, strawberry or other fruit pie filling for cherry.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.
