I searched through several recipes and each one was slightly different then the others... so this is what I came up with adding different components of other's recipes
.. I've gotten rave reviews on how little a bite packs alot of flavor!!
1 8oz package cream cheese
24 vanilla wafers
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp almond
1/4 tsp nut meg
1/2 tbs lemon juice
375 for 20-25m -tops get a light golden....
in mini-muffin tin- I used the mini-cup cake papers - place 1 vanilla wafer in the bottom of each cup.
In medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar and sour cream with beater on low to medium, add egg. Mix well until creamy. Add all other ingredients & mix thoroughly. Spoon cream cheese mix by rounded teaspoon full on top of each vanilla wafer. Should make 24 easily, may have a little extra, go back and fill in if you think a few need a little more.
Bake as directed above until light golden brown on top.
Serve with jelly- I put three different kinds of jelly in small dishes with a spoon for guest to choose which fruit they would like. My fav is red raspberry ( seedless jam!) , Blueberry, and Cherry. Have of course used strawberry too and even spooned apple pie filling & drizzled with caramel- that was a huge hit!!
