Spray mini muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with paper liners.
Combine wafer crumbs and butter in a small bowl till crumbs are completely moistened.
Press crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and set aside.
Beat cream cheese and brown sugar until blended.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs.
Add remainder of ingredients to the eggs, and mix until combined.
Beat egg mixture into cream cheese mixture until well blended.
Spoon mixture over crusts, filling to the top of each mini muffin cup.
Bake 15 minutes. Edges of cheesecakes should be golden brown and the centers should be set.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for several hours.
Notes
If you don’t have a food processor to make the crumbs, you can put the Nilla wafers into a freezer bag and smash them with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer. Just be cautious of holes in the bag! I usually do this on the floor, but make sure you have a sturdy surface!For slightly bigger cheesecakes, you can use a regular muffin tin instead of a mini muffin pan. These will likely need to bake a little bit longer, and may still have a slight jiggle in the middle when they're done baking. Don't worry, they will set - just not too much jiggle!
