Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, honey and whiskey over medium heat and mix to combine.
- Add the butter and continue cooking until the cherries are hot and bubbly.
- In a separate dish, whisk together the cornstarch and lemon juice. Add cornstarch mixture to the cherries and cook for 2 additional minutes, stirring until the mixture is nice and thick.
- Remove from heat and transfer the cherries to a bowl. Refrigerate until they’re totally chilled and thick.
- In a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, whip the cream cheese and condensed milk until fluffy.Place the mixture into a pastry bag or plastic zipper bag with a medium hole snipped off the end. Store in a bowl in the refrigerator until ready to use.Place the graham crackers into a large storage bag and crush them into fine crumbs.
To assemble:
- Spoon a large helping of the crumbs into the bottom of a miniature wine glass or shot glass.
- Squeeze in 2-3 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture.
- Then spoon in 1-2 tbsp of the cherry mixture.
- Top with a few of the slivered almonds and repeat until all of the ingredients have been used.
Notes
- You will also need: Medium saucepan, whisk, mixing bowl, stand mixer, pastry bag or plastic storage bag, miniature wine or shot glasses for serving
- Adapted from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays
- Note: I used brandy glasses for a larger serving, which makes it less a "shooter" and more a full-sized dessert. If you wish to do the same, simply divide the crumbs, cherries and cheesecake layers between 8 brandy glasses, then top each serving with sliced almonds. Enjoy!
