Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line mini-muffin pans with paper liners.
Beat macaroon crumbs and melted butter together until smooth. Press a bit into the bottom of each liner. Bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly.
While the crusts are baking, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Spoon over crusts and bake about 8 minutes, until just set. Remove from oven and cool completely. Top with fruit if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
Makes 2 dozen.
