Cupid's No-Bake Cherry Cheesecakes

SATURDAY'S FOOD TIP - COOKING WITH KIDS

All but the very youngest of Valentines can join in on the fun making these sweet treats. That's because there's no baking involved.







CUPID'S NO-BAKE CHERRY CHEESECAKES





8 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. nondairy whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
1/3 c. sugar
Dash lemon juice
1 box vanilla wafers
1 can pie filling (cherry or strawberry)
Mini cupcake papers

Have your child put the first 4 ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix these ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth. While you're doing that, your child can put a vanilla wafer in the bottom of each mini cupcake paper.

Next, let your child place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top of each vanilla wafer. Finally, have the child put a spoonful of pie filling on top of the cheese mixture in each cupcake paper.

Refrigerate. Makes about 30 mini cheesecakes.
