📝 Preparation Steps
1
FOR THE MINI CHEESECAKES: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together wafer crumbs, melted butter and 1 Tbsp granulated sugar until evenly moistened.

2
Divide mixture among 12 paper lined muffin cups, adding about 1 1/2 Tbsp to each cup (use paper liners, don't use foil liners) and press mixture in each cup into and even layer.
3
Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 5 minutes then remove from oven and set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
4
In a food processor, pulse together 3/4 cup granulated sugar with lemon zest (if you don't have a food processor you can just rub the sugar and lemon zest together with your fingertips).

7
Divide mixture among muffin cups, pouring mixture over crusts and filling each nearly full. Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 20 - 25 minutes until centers only giggle slightly (cupcakes will become puffed and domed but will sink when removed from oven).
8
Allow to cool to room temperature, about ⏱️ 1 hour, then refrigerate until set, at least ⏱️ 2 hours. Serve with strawberry sauce.
9
FOR THE STRAWBERRY SAUCE: Add strawberries, 1 Tbsp sugar and 2 tsp lemon juice to a food processor and blend until pureed. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.
