Ingredients
- 8oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar, divided
- 2 Tablespoons syrup from Tillen Farms Merry Maraschino Cherries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Tillen Farms Merry Maraschino Cherries
Directions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the cream cheese, ½ cup of the confectioners’ sugar, cherry syrup and vanilla until completely smooth.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, add the water and sprinkle the gelatin over the top evenly. Allow to sit for 1 minutes. Place the bowl in the microwave and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and whisk until gelatin has dissolved completely. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the remaining ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Reserve about ½ cup of the plain whipped cream and place in the refrigerator for garnish.
- With the cream cheese mixture still on the electric mixer, add in the gelatin mixture and beat until combined. Remove bowl.
- Gently fold in ½ of the whipped cream until just combined. Fold in the remaining whipped cream and place in the refrigerator while preparing the crust.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter in a bowl until a sand-like consistency is formed.
- Divide the crumb mixture amongst the bottoms of your chosen serving cups.
- Remove the cheesecake mixture from the refrigerator and spoon it into a large piping bag. Cut the tip of the bag and pipe the mixture on top of the crust, dividing evenly amongst the cups. Add a dollop of plain whipped cream to each and top with a maraschino cherry. Place back in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow to set completely. Serve chilled.
