Refreshing Cherry Cheesecake Dessert Cups 🍨🍒
Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup cherry pie filling
Fresh cherries, for garnish
Whipped cream, for garnish
Crushed cookies or wafer, for garnish
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of the serving glasses to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Layer the cream cheese mixture and cherry pie filling in the serving glasses, starting with the cream cheese mixture, followed by the cherry pie filling. Repeat until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of cherry pie filling on top.
Garnish with fresh cherries, a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of crushed cookies or wafer.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
