Ingredients

Servings

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

  • ½ cups graham crackers finely ground
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
  • ¼ cup  granulated sugar
  • teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake:

  • 3 8 oz cream cheese room temperature, in packages
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adam's Extract Clear
  • 5 egg
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 48 Candy Eyeballs Wilton brand

Instructions

  1. Stir together graham cracker, melted butter, sugar and salt in a bowl. Set to the side.
  2. Put a rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven, let cool on a wire rack until at room temperature about 1 hour. Then, transfer to the refrigerator.
  7. 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.
