For the Crust:
- 5 whole graham cracker cookies
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 TBS butter (melted)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 6 TBS white sugar
- 2 TBS heavy cream
- 2 TBS sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 TBS flour
- 1 pinch salt
For the Topping:
- 12 oz cherry pie filling
- 2 cups homemade whipped cream (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 10 spots in a muffin pan with paper liners.
Pulse your graham cracker crumbs in a blender or food processor until you have a fine crumb.
Add the sugar and melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs and mix with a fork until combined.
Scoop about 1 TBS of graham cracker crumbs into each cupcake liner. Press down the crumbs into the bottom of the muffin liners.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Allow the crust to cool for a few minutes when done.
For the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, mix your cream cheese till smooth. A whisk attachment on a hand mixer, or stand mixer works well.
Add in the sugar, heavy cream, and sour cream, and mix over medium for about 2 minutes till nice and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and egg and stir until just combined.
Toss in the salt and flour and lightly stir it into the mixture until evenly combined.
Scoop about 2 to 3 Tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crusts.
Place cheesecakes in the heated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the sides are set but the center is just slightly jiggly.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool on the counter for 1 hour. Then place them in the fridge to chill for about 1 more hour till totally chilled.
