Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

I could not let this recipe go by with out posting it! I know summer is coming to a close but these little bites are so tasty! You can also make these using blueberry pie filling but don’t even think about taking out the lemon juice or zest as it adds so much flavor and such a brightness to the recipe!!
I have really been loving all of these Pinterest recipes lately!!

INGREDIENTS
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese at room temp.
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
Dash of lemon zest
Mini vanilla wafers
1 can of strawberry pie filling (or blueberry)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Fill a mini cupcake tin with mini cupcake liners and out one mini vanilla wafer in each liner with the flat side on the bottom. Mix the remaining ingredients together except for the pie filling. Cream together until week incorporated and smooth.  Fill your cupcake liners about 3/4 of the way up. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the center is set.  Remove from oven and let cool before adding the topping. When completely cool add the pie filling to the top and serve.  Store in the refrigerator .

Enjoy!
