Easy Cherry Cheesecake Cups

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease 8 sections of a muffin tin with baking spray, use a pastry brush to spread it around so the sections are well covered, set aside.

Step 2

Place the cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl and whip it until cream with an electric hand mixer, 1 minute. Add ½ cup of the powdered sugar and mix it in until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, mix it in fully. Last, add the flour and mix until combined.

Step 3

Lay the crescent dough sheet onto a clean work surface and cut it into 8 even sections. Press the dough into the greased sections of the muffin tin, allowing the corners to overlap.

Step 4

Evenly divide the cheesecake mixture among the cups.

Step 5

Top with the cherry pie filling evenly.

Step 6

Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to form cups. Bake for 14-15 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

While they are baking, make the glaze by placing the remaining 1 cup powdered sugar in a medium-sized bowl along with the milk and whisk to combine until smooth.

Step 8

Take the cups out of the muffin tin as soon as they come out, be careful they will be hot. Place them on a wire rack and let cool slightly. They can be served warm, room temperature, or cold. Before serving, drizzle the glaze on top.
