Delectable Delights
I chose these delectable delights as they looked good and simple. My husband had a hard time deciding if they should be approved or not. As he said "The taste is good, but I am having trouble with the texture. I am used to cheesecake being smooth, whereas this has crunchy chips in it". And so I went ahead and altered the recipe taking out the chips, making the same cheesecake and topping it with cherry pie filling. That was a major hit with everyone, even Curly ate two of them. So, the choice is up to you, something a little new, different (above) or the tried and true tasty, creamy, cherry cheesecake (below).
Ingredients
21 vanilla wafers
10 oz package of Semi-Sweet Chocolate and White Morsels (1st picture only)
1 can of cherry pie filling (2nd picture only)
2 packages (8 oz each) of cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 T flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
21 foil baking cups
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 21 foil baking cups on baking sheet with sides. I originally thought I would be able to make more, hence the 36 foil cups in the picture.
Place one vanilla wafer in each cup, flat side down.
Place 5 morsels on each vanilla wafer. If you are making the cherry cheesecake, skip this step and proceed to the next step.
Place cream cheese, sugar and flour in bowl. Mix until creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well.
Batter should look like this.
Spoon a large spoonful over each vanilla wafer.
Looks like this prior to placing in the oven. Place in oven and bake for approximately 18 minutes. They should not be brown, just set, maybe a slight crack.
Should look like this after being baked.
Top cheesecake with morsels (6 or so) while they are still warm. Although they will soften, they will retain their shape. If you are doing the cherry cheesecake, skip this step and move on to the next step.
After completely cool, cover and refrigerate. If you used the chocolate morsels, you may enjoy after they are nice and cold. If you are doing the cherry cheesecake proceed to the next step.
Top with a small spoonful of cherry pie filling just prior to serving. Enjoy!
