These Mini Cherry Cheesecakes show up at all holidays in our family. Just like a full-size cheesecake, these bite sized treats are packed with creamy flavor!

Ingredients
For the crust:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cup Graham cracker crumbs about 9 full size crackers
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
For the cheesecake:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 packages cream cheese, softened 8 ounce each
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Make graham cracker crust by melting butter and using a fork to mix in the graham crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.
- Beat 1 cup sugar, eggs, cream cheese and vanilla until well blended. Press 1-2 tsp crust in a paper lined mini muffin pan. Fill 2/3 full with cream cheese filling.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 17-20 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen mini cherry cheesecakes. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.
- To serve, top each cheesecake with a tablespoon of cherry pie filling (try to get one cherry on each pie). Enjoy cold!
Notes
- First, you’ll need a mini cupcake pan with paper liners! We actually have three of these pans so that I can have the next batches ready to go while one is in the oven!
- I use a tart shaper to press my crust firmly into the pan. This tool is also handy when making Nut Cups.
- Beating the cream cheese until smooth and creamy takes about 3-5 minutes. It’s easy to do when you have a KitchenAid mixer! However, a hand held mixer works just fine too!
- Storage: Keep cheesecakes in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze (without pie filling) for up to 3 months.
