EASY CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES



Easy Cheesecake Cupcakes image

These are a favourite at our house. They freeze well, but there is hardly a time, when I get the chance to freeze them, before they are eaten!

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 30m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

36 medium paper baking cups
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
36 vanilla wafers
3 (250 g) packages cream cheese
2 teaspoons lemon juice
cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat sugar, cheese, eggs, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Line cupcake pans with papers. Place one vanilla wafer in the bottom of each.
  • Spoon cheese mixture over wafers, to fill cups 3/4 full.
  • Bake 20 minutes and cool. Cupcakes will sink in the middle while cooling.
  • Spoon pie filling on each cupcake and refrigerate at least one hour.

Tips:

  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cupcakes to rise evenly and will prevent them from curdling.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make cream cheese cupcakes that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cream cheese cupcakes a try!
