As most of you have noticed I love cheesecakes so you will find a lot of them on this blog. These delicious mini-cheesecakes are gently flavored with Vanilla and Almond Extract. Garnish with fresh or canned fruit topping. Your family and/or guest will be delighted with their delicate flavor.

1 egg

1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1/4 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract

12 vanilla wafers or chocolate wafers**

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and extracts; beat well.

2. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Place a wafer in bottom of each muffin cup. Evenly divide cheese mixture among cups.
