Individual Cheesecakes

2 - 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese (at room temp)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Cocoa
15 Vanilla Wafers
Cherry and Blueberry Pie Filling

Directions:

Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy, add eggs, sugar, and vanilla and beat until very smooth. Place cupcake liners in muffin tins and put 1 vanilla wafer in bottom of each liner.
Using an ice cream scoop, fill each 3/4 full. Make as many cheesecakes vanilla as you want and then add cocoa to the remaining batter. I use about 1 tsp. of cocoa per individual
cheesecake, but the exact amount is not critical. You can make it as chocolate as you want and you can use regualr or Dutch Process cocoa. Bake @ 350 for 22 - 25 minutes.
Cool and add toppings. One recipe makes 15 cheesecakes.
