Ingredients
Crust
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 24 Cupcake liners
Filling
- 16 oz. cream cheese *at room temperature*
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs *at room temperature*
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 21 oz. cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line each tin with a cupcake liner. Combine all of the crust ingredients in a large bowl & divide evenly on the bottom of each cupcake liner and press down until firm to form the crust.
- Bake for 5 minutes and remove from the oven. Let it cool completely in the tin.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy, the cream cheese must be at room temperature to ensure a smooth consistency. Add the sugar together until smooth.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Use a silicone spatula to carefully fold in the eggs until just combined. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer into each muffin tin, leaving each 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Top each with cherry filling and chill in the fridge until cooled completely.

Notes
- I love to freeze these in an airtight container ;) They defrost well and even taste good frozen if you ask me!
