Description
Delicious cherry cheesecake cupcake bites, featuring a creamy filling and topped with juicy cherry pie filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 cupcake liners
- 20 vanilla wafers
- 450 grams cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 15 millilitres lemon juice
- 5 millilitres vanilla extract
- 595 grams cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and place one vanilla wafer, flat side down, into each liner.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; mix until light and fluffy.
- Portion the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the centers are set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, top each cheesecake cupcake with a spoonful of cherry pie filling before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Do not overbake the cheesecake bites; they should be set but can still have a slight jiggle.
- These can be made one day in advance; just add the topping before serving.
