I have my model in a separate class and I want to create my ViewModels in a separate class project so I can use them in different MVC projects. Can this be done and what is the best practice for doing so?

Yes, very easily.
Just create the new project and reference to the existing. I tend to use something similar to the following;
Product.Assembly.Web
Contains the MVC project
Product.Assembly.Web.Infrastructure
Custom Filters, Handlers, Attributes for use in MVC
Product.Assembly.Web.Models
View Models
Product.Assembly.Domain
Service/Database Communication Layer
And of course, the tests for above.
