Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes with a yummy graham cracker crust and creamy cheesecake is delicious. It’s a tasty dessert that looks so pretty and is super easy to make.
We have made so many great cheesecakes over the years. If you like the tiny bite-sized version, after this go take a peak at the Oreo Crust Mini Cheesecakes and the No-Bake Cheesecake Bites. Maybe even make all of them!
Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes
This recipe packs a big flavor punch, but is pretty simple to do. We’re starting with a quick graham cracker crust, cheesecake and cherries.
What I love about making these cherry cheesecake cupcakes into individual servings is there’s no cutting involved. Everyone can simply grab a treat when they want it! Plus, they are just super cute.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Graham Cracker Crumbs.
- Sugar.
- Butter.
- Cream Cheese.
- Sour Cream.
- Vanilla.
- Salt.
- Eggs.
- Cherry Pie Filling.
How To Make Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes
- Crust. Stir the crust ingredients and press into the cupcake liners.
- Cheesecake layer. Beat the cheesecake ingredients together and pour over crust.
- Bake. Cook until the tops start to brown; just under 20 minutes.
- Top. Add a scoop of cherry pie filling on top and enjoy!
Tip: Don’t overfill the cupcake liners because you don’t have any room left for the cherries.
You could get creative if you want to, and switch up the topping flavors. Oh! A fun idea might be to make each cupcake a different flavor! Just walk through the baking section of your grocery store and pick out a few pie fillings.
Heck, these are also really good plain if you want to skip the fruit altogether.
However you serve these, they will definitely be a huge hit.
