INGREDIENTS

16 thin vanilla or chocolate wafer cookies

500 grams cream cheese (i.e. 2 x 250g packages)

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla

fruit slices (to garnish - kiwi slices and/or strawberries work well)

lemon cheese (optional - see NOTES below)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375° F (160° C).
Place large fluted baking cups in muffin tins. Place a wafer cookie in the bottom of each cup.
Beat together the remaining ingredients (except fruit slices) in a medium sized bowl for 1 minute at medium speed.
Pour cream cheese mixture into the baking cups (or spoon in) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cool and remove paper liners (optional - you can leave the liners on just before serving).
Top with fruit slices and chill until serving time (then add a dab of whipped cream, if desired).

NOTES

Yields 16 cheese cakes.

Definitely not low fat, but they look and taste great!

For a lemony twist, top the cheesecakes with lemon cheese (found in jam section of supermarket) before decorating with fruit.
