Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup cold milk
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Crust: Spoon the mixture into a 12-cup muffin tin lined with paper liners, dividing it evenly. Press firmly into the bottom of each cup to create a compact crust.
- Chill the Crust: Instead of baking, place the muffin tin in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the crusts to set.
- Make the Filling: Using a large mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until it becomes light and airy. Add the pudding mix, then gradually add the milk while continuing to beat until fully blended.
- Assemble the Cheesecakes: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crusts, dividing evenly among the muffin cups. Smooth the tops with a spoon.
- Refrigerate: Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 days.
- Top and Serve: Just before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a spoonful of cherry pie filling. Enjoy!
Notes
For a no-bake version, skip the oven and chill the crusts instead. You can use any pie filling you like—strawberry, blueberry, or lemon all work great!
