Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup cream cheese, softened

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)

Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 cups, pressing it down with the back of a spoon to form a firm crust layer.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much; you want to keep the mixture light and airy.

        Layering: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling over the crust in each cup. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Fill each cup to just below the rim.

          Top with Cherry Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling generously over the cream cheese layer in each cup. Spread it out evenly to cover the filling.

            Chill: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until set. This helps the flavors meld and the cheesecake to firm up slightly.

              Garnish & Serve: Before serving, garnish each cup with fresh cherries and mint leaves, if desired. Enjoy your delightful No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Cups!
