Description
Mini Cherry Cheesecakes are delightful bite-sized desserts perfect for cherry lovers, featuring a creamy cheesecake filling topped with sweet cherry pie filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Fill 18 muffin tins with foil-lined wrappers. The wrappers with the inside foil lining peel better from this dessert.
- In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter and graham cracker crumbs until mixed.
- Press about 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumb and butter mixture in the bottom of each cupcake wrapper.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the white sugar until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl often.
- Beat in the eggs until well mixed. Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl often.
- Beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and flour until well mixed.
- Scoop the cheesecake mixture into each cupcake wrapper. Fill until each is filled to about ½ inch from the top. They will rise a bit while baking, so don’t overfill.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. They’re done when still just slightly jiggly in the middle.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes before placing in fridge to cool completely. These will need to cool in fridge for at least two hours before serving.
- Top each with a scoop of cherry pie filling before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Be careful not to overfill the cupcake liners.
- Cool in the fridge for at least two hours before serving for the best texture.
