Best Ever Mini Cheesecakes - VIDEO post

Our oldest kiddo, Silas, turned 8 years old last month. Whenever I make treats to possibly photograph and post the recipe for you all, the boys taste test and tell me what they think. I know the recipe is a real winner when they ask, "Mom, can you make this for me for my birthday?" So, when Silas' birthday rolled around, I had a few ideas of past desserts he's loved in my mind as possibilities. You could imagine my surprise when I asked him what he wanted me to make for his birthday dessert this year. Mini cheesecakes.

It's been YEARS since I've tried a new mini cheesecake recipe.

I really have no clue where he came up with that idea, but I went with it! I'm not going to argue with the kid, I LOVE cheesecake!


INGREDIENTS:

  • For the crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve, if using while graham crackers)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • For the cheesecakes:
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 21 oz can cherry pie filling


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Place paper cupcake liners into muffin cups. In a small bowl, stir together crust ingredients. Evenly divide mixture among the 12 muffin cups, about 1 tablespoon in each. Using the bottom of a spice jar, press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over crusts.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 17 minutes or until just set in the middles, do not overbake. Allow cheesecakes to cool. Serve topped with cherry pie filling.
