As sure as chocolate and cherries go together, so do my family's yuletides and these no-fuss cheesecakes. Ingredients:
12 oreo cookies |
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling |
1/2 to 1 cup whipped topping |
Directions:
1. Remove cookie top from each sandwich cookie; crush and set aside. Place cream-topped cookies in foil-lined muffin cups, cream side up. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, cocoa and vanilla until fluffy. Beat in eggs until blended. Fill muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle 1/4 cup reserved cookie crumbs over top (discard remaining crumbs or save for another use). Bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes or until set. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, top each cheesecake with about 2 tablespoons of pie filling. Top with a dollop of whipped topping. Yield: 12 servings.
