Cherry Cheese Tarts
These cherry cheese tarts are a perfect blend of sweet and creamy, with a rich cherry topping that adds a delightful burst of flavor. They are relatively easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them perfect for entertaining.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of tart pans or a muffin tin to form the crust. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Once the crusts have cooled, spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Top each tart with a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate the tarts for at least 2 hours, or until set. This will enhance the flavor and make them easier to serve.
- When ready to enjoy, serve chilled and watch them disappear!
These cherry cheese tarts are a wonderful dessert option that combines sweetness and creaminess in every bite. Enjoy them at your next gathering, and savor the delicious flavors!
