CHERRY PIE CHEESECAKE TARTS
Dive deep into the world of sweet delicacies with these enchanting Cheesecake Tarts, an irresistible fusion of classic cheesecake goodness. The gentle crunch of the vanilla wafers harmoniously complements the lusciousness of the cheesecake, with each bite crowned by the vibrant cherry pie filling.
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 12 vanilla wafers
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350◦F (175◦C).
- Line a standard muffin pan with cupcake liners for easy removal and clean-up.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Use an electric mixer for best results and continue mixing until the filling is creamy and smooth without any lumps.
- Place a vanilla wafer, flat side down, at the bottom of each cupcake liner. This will form a simple and delicious crust for your tarts.
- Pour or spoon the cream cheese mixture over each vanilla wafer, filling each liner until it's approximately 1/4 inch from the top.
- Place the muffin pan in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The tarts should be set, but the centers may still be slightly jiggly. You can test the readiness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a tart; if it comes out clean, they are done.
- Remove tarts from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature. They will naturally sink a little in the center as they cool. Once cooled, spoon the cherry pie filling generously on top of each tart.
- For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the tarts until they are thoroughly chilled, preferably for at least an hour, before serving.
