Like little bites of sunshine, these cupcake-size lemon treats are just the thing for Spring. Baked in a muffin pan, these Mini Lemon Cheesecakes<\/strong> are creamy, tangy and tart, just like they should be. The recipe makes 4 small servings, but you can double or triple the recipe to make as many as you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mini lemon cheesecakes are so quick to make because they have a secret, simple crust method. Instead of crushing graham crackers or other cookies, mixing with melted butter and more sugar, we’re just going to drop the whole cookie right in! I use this crust method for my mini strawberry cheesecakes<\/a><\/span>, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My cookie of choice for the crust on these mini lemon cheesecakes is a vanilla wafer. You know the ones in the yellow box that says ‘Nilla Wafers,’ right? They’re great crushed into a crust, but they’re also great whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Mini Lemon Cheesecakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a muffin or cupcake pan, you can make this recipe so easily! I really recommend using cupcake liners because sometimes, the cheesecake can stick to the pan and make it hard to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love my original mini cheesecakes<\/a><\/span> with chocolate sauce and strawberries, you will love this new tangy version! If you’re looking to amp up the lemon flavor even more, try topping these with my microwave lemon curd<\/a><\/span> just before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, really, this recipe only contains 6 ingredients! Can you believe you’re so close to a sweet lemon dessert that is so simple to make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
