With your index finger press several times in the middle of each circle to create edge like a tiny pizza.
Place the filling in a large Ziploc bag and cut the corner off. Twist the bag at the top around the filing and start piping the filling in the middle of the circles. Don’t overlap the edge.
Place one raisin in the middle of each cheesecake and bake in 350 °F for 14 minutes.
