Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 can (20 oz) cherry pie filling

Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and resembles wet sand. Divide this mixture among 4 serving cups, using the back of a spoon to press it firmly into the bottom, creating a solid crust layer.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing continuously until well incorporated and the mixture is free of lumps.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream on high speed until soft peaks begin to form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Take care to fold delicately to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.

        Layering: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cup with the cheesecake filling until it is just below the rim. Use a spatula to smooth the tops for a clean finish.

          Top with Cherry Filling: Generously spoon the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer in each cup. Ensure the filling spreads evenly to cover the cheesecake layer entirely.

            Chill: Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake is set. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the cheesecake to firm up.

              Garnish & Serve: Just before serving, garnish each cheesecake cup with a few fresh cherries and a sprig of mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your delightful No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Cups!
