I just made them but had to alter the cream cheese with chocolate frosting! I also added a little all purpose flour! So far they are rising up and looking nice! They turned out great I highly recommend this!! I also used parchment paper in my muffin tin!!
Baked 24 with the amount the recipe called for. Had to bake for nearly 30 minutes. Baked several with chocolate chips and swirled strawberry pie mix into some also (to use took a little longer to set. Did this all with my 9 year old son who loved adding the different flavorings.
I followed the recipe and it turned out well. I crushed butter cookies in the bottom of the muffin tins which was excellent. I filled them 3/4 full and it took about 35-40 to get golden. They looked great taking them out of the oven, but then collapsed while chilling the fridge. That made them a little too short & dense, but tasty with strawberry pie filling and cool whip dabbed on top.
Delicious. I also used the graham crackers with butter on the bottom.
I followed the directions to crush the cookies and add some butter to the crumbs to make the crust. Nice dessert to take to a potluck.
I made this filling and used it in a homemade pie crust. My family loved it! I made a fresh blueberry sauce to top it with! Compliments all the way around.
My husband and I are on the “Keto” diet and I try hard to find recipes that fit into our eating lifestyle. This recipe was perfect! I omitted the cookie and went crust less. The suggestion of adding sour cream and a bit more sugar were Right On! Instead of regular sugar I used Splenda. They came out nice and creamy.
Definitely a keeper in my recipe book!
I love this and so did my friends and family!!!
No changes other than swapping out the sugar for Swerve sweetener. Super Easy recipe. I added raspberry pie filling and a few mini choc chips on the top of each serving.
It took me 26 minutes to make and then they still weren’t even done !
My twist, cream cheese chunks.. She loved them
A family favorite that is always asked for during the holidays. Listening to the other reviews defiantly helped. Using the Cheeseman crackers and sour cream was the best suggestion. The cupcakes are amazing !!!
I did not have the wafers, but went with the “cookie on the bottom”idea. Lemon Oreos (separated into their halves) were awesome. I did take suggestions of others for the sour cream and added sugar, but I think next time I’ll skip the extra sugar. There will be many next times for this recipe!
I have used this recipe for about 25 years and its perfect, as a New York style. Add the 3/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup sugar makes it a creamer cheesecake. Both are great and quick.
Sometimes you just need a base to start, then you modify to your likes. I read other reviews so added the cup of sour cream, instead of sugar I used splenda and to make it tart, because I love key lime pie, added the juice of 5 key limes at the end. I put the ingredients in my food processor. (make sure you add the key lime juice at the end) 5 stars for a great inspiration for the non regular bakers.
I used Girl scouts shortbread cookies for crust. Made three batches and not one was left over.
I used crushed vanilla wafers and added sour cream and extra sugar like other lady did. These are the BEST!
These were great, I made them for a party at my house and everyone loved them. My mother who thinks I can’t cook for some reason asked “did you make the cakes?” Yes Mother I did, thanks to this recipe. Everyone was asking me for the recipe. My mom’s birthday is coming up so I’m going to take the recipe and make a cake out of it for her. 🙂
I made them just like your recipe. Took them to a get together, everyone love them.
I made a Graham cracker crust rather than the vanilla wafer crust only because that’s what I had. Other than that, I followed the recipe. They were just okay.
