Chill time: 2 hours

Mini cheesecake bites topped with whipped cream and a cookie, arranged on a slate serving tray.

Servings: 24 regular cupcake-size cheesecakes

FAQs:

  • This recipe can also be used to make one 9 inch cheesecake.  Using a springform pan, cover the bottom of the pan in two layers of foil and then place in a large roasting pan with approximately 2 inches of water to create a water bath.  Bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the outside edges are set with a slight jiggle in the middle. 
  • If cheesecakes are overcooked, they will brown.  If they are baked at too high of a temperature, they will crack.  To ensure the cheesecake is done without these issues – do a jiggle test!  The outside edges of the cheesecake(s) should be set with a slight jiggle in the middle when you GENTLY shimmy the baking dish.  If no jiggle, they are overbaked and remove immediately.  If too much of a jiggle, continue to bake and test occasionally until done.  
  • To crush the Nilla Wafers, place them in a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces.  Or, a food processor works as well. 
  • You may add in chopped banana pieces if you want extra banana flavor! 

Ingredients:

Crust

  • 2 c. crushed Nilla Wafter crumbs
  • ½ c. melted unsalted butter

Filling

  • 16 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 T. lemon juice
  • 3 T. flour
  • 2 c. sour cream
  • 1 – 5 oz package banana pudding mix

Topping

  • 1 c heavy whipping cream
  • ½ c powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Place cupcake liners in your pan.  
  2. To make the crust – Crush the Nilla wafers into small pieces and crumbs.  Some small chunks are okay – does not need to be finely ground.  Mix until the butter is incorporated and the mixture has a wet appearance. 
  3. Scoop out one heaping, loosely packed tablespoon worth of the crust mixture and place in the bottom of the cupcake lined baking pan. 
  4. Using the back of the tablespoon or the flat bottom of a ¼ cup measuring cup, gently press down to pack the crust into the bottom of the pan.  Repeat with the remaining crust mix.  Set aside.

To make the cheesecake

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sugar and softened cream cheese – cream until smooth.  Take your time with this step – if your cream cheese is not incorporated well enough or it was cold, there will be chunks in your cheesecakes.  Make sure the mixture is creamed together well.  Add in the eggs and mix until combined. 
  2. Add in the flour, vanilla, sour cream, pudding mix and lemon juice.  Combine well again – stop the machine and strape down the sides and mix again.  
  3. Fill each cupcake liner until just under the rim of the top.  Cheesecakes will not overflow when baked.  They will puff up slightly during the bake time, but then settle again once cooled.  Bake in preheated oven for approximately 14-16 minutes. 
  4. Before removing from the oven, preform a “jiggle test” – gently wiggle the pan and the centers of the cheesecakes should move slightly while the edges remain in place. The cheesecakes will completely solidify once cooled but overbaking until it is completely set makes for a dry and crumbly cheesecake.  
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.  Then place in the fridge for an additional 2 hours to completely set.  Do not remove the liners from the pan before they have cooled and solidified, otherwise you will have a messy, broken cheesecake.  
  6. Once the cheesecakes have cooled, they can be served. 

Topping

  1. Just prior to serving, finish the topping.  Place the heavy cream and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on high until stiff peaks.  Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.  Pipe a small dollop on each cheesecake.
  2. Sprinkle with additional Nilla wafer crumbs and a chopped wafer piece.  Enjoy! 
  3. Storage: Cheesecakes can remain stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
