Mini Cherry Cheesecakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Cherry Cheesecakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and get ready to line two 24-cup miniature muffin tins with cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   Next, take those vanilla wafers and crush them into fine crumbs—this will be the delightful base of your mini cheesecakes.

3. Step 3

   Press about half a teaspoon of the crushed wafers into the bottom of each liner, creating a lovely little crust that will hold all the deliciousness together.

4. Step 4

   In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract.

5. Step 5

   Beat them together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and oh-so-inviting.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to spoon that creamy goodness into each muffin liner, filling them almost to the brim for that perfect cheesecake experience.

7. Step 7

   Slide the tins into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set and ready to shine.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re out of the oven, allow them to cool—this is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! Finally, just before serving, add a teaspoon of cherry pie filling on top of each mini cheesecake for a burst of flavor and a pop of color.
