Easy Cheesecake Bites

Ingredients:

4 Viennese cookies
16 ounces softened cream cheese
12 teaspoons jam of choice (blueberry, blackberry, etc)
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 eggs
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Tip: Choose a jam with thicker fruit preserve.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin pan with foil liners.

2. In a food processor, crush cookies and melted butter. Once you have crumbs, press into muffin pan to form base.

3. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, eggs, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

4. Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture among the muffin cups on top of base.

5. Add a teaspoon of jam on top. If desired, make a swirl effect using a toothpick.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecake bites are set.

Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.

Carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
