12 strawberries
24 mini paper liners
1 pkg 8 oz (250 g) cream cheese
¼ cup (50 mL) sugar
¼ tsp (1 mL) vanilla
1 egg
⅓ cup (75 mL) sour cream

Directions

Cut a strawberry in half lengthwise, then cut a heart shape out of each half using a small heart cookie cutter (1 ½" (4 cm)).
Place paper liners in the Mini Muffin Pan, then push a vanilla wafer cookie into the bottom of each liner. Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, egg and sour cream. Top the cookies with the mixture using the Small Scoop. Bake 18 – 20 minutes at 325°F (160°C), cool completely in the pan, remove and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Top with a strawberry heart for a lovely finish.
