A twist on this would be to make it as cupcakes. Using a cupcake pan and using the foil type cupcake wrappers you can place a Nilla wafer in the bottom of each and then fill it about 2/3's with batter and bake. Cut the baking time to about 15-20 minutes and check a few with a toothpick to determine if done.

I also wanted to add that with the spring form pans if you can find a roasting pan your will fit inside and a wire rack you can put water in the roasting pan and then place the springform on the rack in the pan (keep it out of the water). This will help prevent the top of the cake from splitting apart from dehydration and give you that silky cheesecake look.

A good topping if you are so inclined is pie filling types of fruit like cherries. If you can get them I like to use strawberries. I puree about 1/3 of the package as the topping, adding a touch of sugar to cut the bitterness and then top each piece with a few whole strawberries.
