Delicious mini cherry cheesecakes with a sweet cherry topping, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. Combine vanilla wafer crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Evenly divide the crust mixture among the paper liners, pressing firmly into the base of each cup. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until just set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Add vanilla extract, whole egg, egg yolk, and sour cream to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crusts, filling each liner nearly to the top.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and no longer jiggle. Do not overbake.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire rack. Let the cheesecakes cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
  9. Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy blending.
  • The cheesecakes can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
