MINI NY CHEESECAKES

Category: Cheesecake

2/3 cup graham crackers, crushed
2 tbsp. butter, melted
2 pkgs. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, room temperature
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (14 oz.) can cherry pie filling (or other fruit filling)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper or foil liners.

In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Pour a rounded tbsp of the graham cracker crust into each liner. Press down the crust mixture so it’s compact. (I like to use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup). Bake the crusts for 5 minutes in the preheated oven.

While that is baking, beat the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, eggs and vanilla extract together until it’s smooth. Pour the filling into each muffin cup filling it 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Chill completely before removing the paper/foil liners and topping with your cherry filling.

NOTE: These will stay creamy and smooth for up to 5 days
