Avocado Cheesecake
Bite-sized avocado cheesecakes
Ingredients

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!
