I actually made these mini cheesecakes twice around the holidays, once for a work and once for a family party. Both times, people loved them! And the best part is they're relatively low in fat and calories (as much as a cheesecake can be). I found this recipe on All Recipes, and made it using one of the suggested modifications using flavored liqour.
48 servings (1 cake per serving)
1 WeightWatchers PointsPlus per serving
Ingredients:
3/4 c. sugar
2 large eggs
16 oz (2 8-oz pkgs) neufchatel cheese, or reduced-fat cream cheese
48 Mini Nabisco Nilla Wafers
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2-3/4 tsp Kahlua coffee flavored liqueur
1/2-3/4 tsp Irish Cream liqueur
1/2-3/4 tsp Butterscotch schnapps liqueur
1/2-3/4 tsp Creme de Menthe liqueur
**Uses 1 5/8" mini muffin liners.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2: Place 1 mini wafer (flat side down) into each paper cup. *Best if used in mini muffin (tassies) pan to keep shape, but can be done by placing liners on flat cookie sheet.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Split batter into 5 batches (~1/2 cup each). Add one type of flavor to each portion. *If making only 1 type, use at least 1-2 tsp of flavor. **I used food coloring to help differentiate between the different flavors.
Step 5: Fill each miniature muffin liner with this mixture, almost to the top.
Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool and refrigerate before serving.

TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes
I definitely recommend this recipe if you're making desserts for a party or other form of group gathering. They're easy to make and easy to eat (essentially bite-sized)! And you don't need to use the alcohol flavoring if you don't want to; just stick with plain vanilla flavoring, or try out some of your own!
