Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
Description
This recipe creates bite-sized cheesecakes by first placing a vanilla wafer at the bottom of each cupcake liner, which acts as a crisp base. The cheesecake filling is made by combining eggs, vanilla, sugar, and softened cream cheese to a smooth consistency. Baking at 350°F for 15-17 minutes sets the custard-like cheesecake with a tender center and firmer edges.
Once cooled, the cheesecakes are topped with cherry pie filling for a classic flavor combination of creamy and fruity. Chilling the mini cheesecakes before serving helps firm them properly and enhances their texture.
They make handy desserts for parties or snacks and can be stored in the refrigerator. Freezing them is an option as well, though the cherry topping should be added only upon serving to maintain the best texture.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 18 vanilla wafers
- 14 ounces cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Place cupcake liners in muffin tins.
- Put a vanilla wafer, flat side down, in the bottom of each liner.
- Beat eggs, vanilla, sugar, and cream cheese together until smooth.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the cheesecake batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- Top each mini cheesecake with cherry pie filling.
- Refrigerate for an hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Freeze mini cheesecakes without the cherry topping for easier storage and add it fresh before serving.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent air bubbles that cause collapse after baking.
- Check for doneness by looking for puffed edges and a slight jiggle in the center; they will set as they cool.
