Below is a brief description of the preparation along with the accompanying photos:

Step 1: We start with the crust. It’s made from graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, sugar, and chopped almonds. It’s simple, quick and easy- just  mix the ingredients together and distribute them in a muffin tin lined with paper liners. Gently press to form the crust. No baking is needed.
Step 2: Now, let’s move on to the Cheesecake Filling. It’s made from cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and almond extract. Beat everything together until smooth. Spread the filling over the crust and bake for 15-18 minutes. Let cool.

Cheesecake Filling

Step 3: We finish with the topping. Once the mini cheesecakes have cooled and set in the fridge, spread cherry pie filling on top of each one.

Topping

3 steps, 3 delicious layers, each different in flavor and texture, and their combination is simply amazing. It’s really simple and easy to make these delightful bites. I enjoyed making them, and the taste completely blew me away when I tried them. I have to admit, I prefer the almond version over the classic cheesecake with cherries.

Tips and tricks: 

  • You can use whole graham crackers. Just crush them in a food processor. You’ll need about 32 graham crackers or 8 sheets. If you’re not a fan of graham crackers, you can use Nilla wafers, gingersnaps, or any other cookie you prefer.
  • Use softened cream cheese at room temperature to make it easier to beat and to make sure your mini cheesecakes have a smooth texture without lumps. For the best flavor and texture, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • Don’t overbeat the cheesecake filling. Beat it just until it becomes creamy and smooth. If you overbeat it, the mini cheesecakes will lose their smooth texture, becoming air-filled and possibly cracking on top.
  • Once the cheesecakes are baked, let them cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating them.

How to store mini cherry almond cheesecakes? The best way is to keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Can I freeze them? I recommend freezing baked cheesecakes after they’ve cooled in the fridge, but without the filling. Place them in an appropriate container with parchment paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking together. Thaw them in the fridge overnight. On the day you’re ready to serve, top with cherry pie filling.

Ingredients

CRUST

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped almonds
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

CHEESECAKE FILLING

  • 2 (8 oz) packs cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract

TOPPING

  • 8 ounces cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

TO MAKE THE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ingredients for the crust and mix until well combined.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 cups in the muffin tin and gently press down with a firm object (I used a measuring cup) to form the crust. Set aside.

TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING:

  • In a larger bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the sour cream and almond extract, and beat until smooth and creamy. Do not overbeat.
  • Spread the filling over the graham cracker crust. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when you shake the tin.
  • Let cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
  • Before serving, top with cherry pie filling.
