How do you get the batter not to be so chunky?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Make sure the cream cheese is very soft.
Sherry says
Have cream cheese at room temperature I leave mine out over night and use mixture to blend
Polichet Carter says
Do you crush the wafers? if you cannot get the wafer what can you use as a replacement?
Virginia Tout says
No, just drop it in the bottom of the cupcake liner. Then pour batter over the top. It will form a nice bottom crust.

I love this recipe and have been making it for over 40 years. It came from a fellow teacher and I have no idea where it came from before then. I also saw it on a Paula Deen show where she claimed she had created it. But I’m glad to see it has now spread around the country and others will enjoy these delightful and easy to make desserts. I always make them for my Christmas Open House table. They are beautiful to look at and even better to eat.

Susan says
can you make these using mini cupcake liners
Elba says
I made 24 from this recipe. I use the foil liners and fill about 1/2 full to make room for cherry filling.
