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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make graham cracker crust by melting butter and using a fork to mix in the graham crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 17-20 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen mini cherry cheesecakes. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.
  4. 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.
