02 Step

To Make Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until well combined. (3 minutes)
04 Step

To Make Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, and cinnamon. (2 minutes)
05 Step

Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles moist sand. (2 minutes)
06 Step

Press one spoonful of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Spoon the cream cheese filling over the crusts, filling each liner about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. (30 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly. While still warm, spoon cherry pie filling evenly over the top of each tart. (5 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Refrigerate the tarts for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow them to chill completely before serving. (30-60 minutes)
For an extra touch, garnish the chilled tarts with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings, such as blueberry or strawberry, to customize the tarts to your liking.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smooth and lump-free filling.
Don't overbake the tarts, as this can cause the filling to crack. They should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Mar 22, 2024I added a pinch of almond extract to the filling, and it gave the tarts a wonderful flavor.

Feb 19, 2024Next time, I'll try using a different type of crust, maybe a shortbread or a gingersnap crust.
