Make individual, no-bake cheesecake cups featuring rich chocolate and tart cherry flavors. This recipe requires no oven and sets quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
  • Optional: Chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl. Press about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into the bottom of six small serving cups or ramekins. Place the cups in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Fold in the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon or pipe half of the chocolate cheesecake filling evenly over the crusts in the six cups.
  6. Top the chocolate layer with 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling in each cup.
  7. Spoon the remaining chocolate cheesecake filling over the cherry layer.
  8. Top each cup with a small dollop of the remaining cherry pie filling.
  9. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, chill the crust mixture for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use dark chocolate wafers for a deeper chocolate flavor in the base.
  • If you prefer a stronger cherry flavor, you can fold 2 tablespoons of cherry juice into the cheesecake filling before adding the chocolate.
