Ingredients

• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 thirds cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 third cup Sour cream
• 21 ounces Cherry pie filling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it down firmly.

Step 4

Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove and allow to cool while you make the cheesecake filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 2/3 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Step 7

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 8

Gently fold in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 9

Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–17 minutes, or until the centers are just set and slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool to room temperature in the muffin pan. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 12

Once chilled, spoon a dollop of cherry pie filling onto each mini cheesecake, distributing the cherries evenly.

Step 13

Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Mini Cherry Cheesecakes!
