Lemon Delight Mini Cheesecakes

Lemon Delight Mini Cheesecakes burst with bright lemony flavor and cream cheese goodness in every bite. They are a lemon lover’s dream.

I love mini cheesecakes, and these have multiple layers of yumminess! Every bite provides a mouthful of smooth cream cheese and bursts of bright lemon. Each cheesecake has a layer of vanilla wafer cookie base. This is followed by a layer of cream cheese that is infused with fresh lemon juice and zest. On top of that is an intensely sweet/tangy lemon filling. Finally, a sprinkling of lemon sugar topping adds a perfect finishing touch.
