Miniature Cheesecakes
3 8-oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 8-oz carton sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until soft and creamy. Bradually add 1 cup sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Spoon batter into paper-lined mini muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes.
Combine sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, stirring well. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of sour cream mixture on each cupcake; top with small amount of strawberry preserves in the center of sour cream mixture. Return cupcakes to oven and bake 5 minutes. Yields 6 dozen.
Note: I prefer to add a small piece of fresh fruit (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, etc.) instead of the strawberry preserves. These are very colorful and look very festive.
