Description

Mini Cherry Cheesecakes are the ultimate bite-sized dessert, combining a buttery Oreo crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and tangy cherry pie topping. Perfect for parties, holidays, or any special occasion!


Ingredients

  • 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cavity of a mini cheesecake pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add heavy whipping cream, mixing until combined. Beat in the egg, then sugar, and finally vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  4. Fill each crust about 3/4 full with cheesecake mixture.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the centers are just set.
  6. Allow to cool completely, then top with cherry pie filling. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and egg are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze (without topping) for up to 1 month.
  • Swap cherry pie filling with other toppings like blueberry or chocolate ganache for variety.
