Ingredients
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- ½ cups finely ground graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake:
- 3 8 oz packages of cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Adam's Extract Clear Vanilla
- 5 eggs
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 48 Wilton candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Stir together graham cracker, melted butter, sugar and salt in a bowl. Set to the side.
- Put a rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric stand mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add one cup granulated sugar and the one teaspoon vanilla. Mix until well combined, scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula as needed.
- Place cupcake liners in muffin pan. Using a medium cookie scoop--scoop graham cracker filling in each liner. Then using another scoop, scoop cheesecake batter on top of the graham cracker until ¾ full. Repeat until all the batter is used.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool on a wire rack until at room temperature about 1 hour. Then, transfer to the refrigerator.
- Before serving scoop 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top and add 1,2, or even 3 eyeball candies! Repeat until all cheesecakes are decorated. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Bake ahead - You can bake the cheesecake cupcakes ahead of time and decorate right before serving.
- Fruit - The cherry filling works best because it looks like little red eyeballs. But you could also use blueberry filling as well.
- Candy Eyeballs - Make sure to place the candy eyeballs on just before you are about to serve. I learned that they don't do well and bleed as they sit on the cherry compote over night.
