Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 8 Ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 Cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Cup Cool Whip
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 Box puff pastry shells I used Pepperidge Farms
- 1 Cup cherry pie filling
- 1/2 Cup graham crackers crushed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer and beat until smooth. Slowly incorporate the sweetened condensed milk. Fold in the cool whip and place the bowl into the fridge to cool.
- Place puff pastry bowls into the oven and bake according to the package. Remove the top of the puff pastry and scoop cheesecake filling inside. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
For Mason Jars (Alternate Preparation Method)
- Scoop cheesecake filling with a spoonful of cherry pie filling into mason jars. Top with graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Chill the filling: Let it firm up slightly in the fridge before using.
Don’t overfill: Leave room in the shells for topping and easy handling.
Garnish just before serving: Prevents the graham crackers from getting soggy.
