Easy Peasy Mini Cheesecakes

 I remember my mom used to make these all the time when I was little and I always LOVED them. They are sooo simple, so quick and easy but delicious. Tonight, I went to a Deaf Community Thanksgiving Dinner which was a blast, (it was definitely the quietest thanksgiving I've ever had ;)!) and I brought this as a dessert. It was perfect! I got a lot of people coming up to me telling me that this dessert was their favorite :)

so lets begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees!

Line the cupcake pan with some tinfoil cupcake liners (tinfoil I found works the best with these.) and place
Vanilla Wafers
in each cupcake holder.

Then take a medium sized bowl and with an electric mixer, beat
2 (8ounce) Packages of Cream Cheese
3/4 Cup of Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
once smooth, light, and fluffy, Fill each cupcake liner with this mixture, almost to the top, but leave enough room for the Cherry Pie Filling on top.
Bake for 15 Minutes and let it cool.

Depending on when you want or need them, keep them in the fridge, and don't put the Cherry topping until you are about to serve them, or eat it for best taste. Otherwise, the cheesecake could get a little soggy!

Easy right? I hope it turns out well!

These were so good... and what I also like about them, is that you can put anything in them and it will still taste amazing! you can put nuts, chocolate chips, etc, you don't even need to put anything in it because it will also be soooo delicious! It was also very hard to take a good picture of it for some reason...

 First preheat the oven to 350 degrees!

In a small bowl mix the
3 Very Ripened Bananas
1/2 Cup of Finely Chopped Pineapples
1/2 Cup of Flour
set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together the
2 1/4 Cup of Flour
1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon of Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Ginger
1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
set aside.

In a large bowl beat
3 Eggs
1 3/4 Cup of Granulated Sugar
until thick and light.
While beating add in
3/4 Cup of Vegetable Oil
Once mixed, scatter the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and gently fold them together to make a loose batter. Now gently fold in the banana mixture.

Now, this is the place where you get to decide what you want to put in it. I would recommend either chopped pecans or chocolate chips! If you don't fancy either of those, than plan is amazing as well :)

Now for the frosting, very easy.
In a medium bowl beat
2 (8-ounce) Packages of Cream Cheese
12 Tablespoons of Butter
Once smooth and fluffy, add
A Few Drops of Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
2 Cups of Confectioner's Sugar


Banana's and Pecans are wonderful garnishes :) Hope you enjoy!
