TINY CHERRY CHEESECAKES

I prepared these mini cheesecakes for a bake sale and I received many requests for the recipe, not to mention all the compliments, they were among the first to be sold. I have made them many times and they are always a hit. Try them and you will become a fan!


1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup cold butter
2 tablespoons cold water

FILLING:

2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 can (21 ounces) cherry or strawberry pie filling


In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar and cocoa; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Shape into 24 balls. Place in greased miniature muffin cups; press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in milk and vanilla. Add egg; beat on low just until combined. Spoon about 1 tablespoon into each cup. Bake at 325 F. for 15-18 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Carefully remove from pans to cool completely. Top with pie filling. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
