Easy Cherry Cheesecake Cups
Ingredients
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, divided
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 8 ounce can crescent dough sheet
• ¾ cup cherry pie filling
• 1 tablespoon whole milk
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease 8 sections of a muffin tin with baking spray using a pastry brush to ensure sections are well covered. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer for 1 minute until creamy. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
3. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing fully. Then add the flour and mix until combined.
4. Lay the crescent dough sheet on a clean surface and cut into 8 even sections. Press each piece into the greased muffin tin sections, allowing corners to overlap.
5. Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the dough cups.
6. Top each with cherry pie filling evenly.
7. Fold the dough corners over the filling to form cups. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
8. While baking, make the glaze by whisking the remaining 1 cup powdered sugar with the milk in a medium bowl until smooth.
9. Remove the cups from the muffin tin immediately after baking and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. They can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
10. Before serving, drizzle the glaze on top.
