Prep: 5 mins | Assembly Time: 5 mins | Total Time: 10 mins | Servings: 20 small cups
Ingredients
Cheesecake Cups
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Cup Lemon Pie Filling
12 Oz Cream Cheese
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
Graham Cracker Crumbs
½ Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
2 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Melted Butter
Whip It Up
Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff. Add the lemon pie filling and cream cheese and beat until smooth. In a separate bowl, add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat just until ingredients are combined. Next, fold in the whipped cream slowly until it is all combined and set aside.
Next, make the crumb topping by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
When you’re ready to assemble the cups, you’ll need a small amount of graham cracker crumb topping on the bottom of each cup. You can scoop the cheesecake filling into each cup, or for a more elaborate look, pipe it in a swirling motion into each cup, filling just over the top. The final touch is a little more of the graham cracker topping in each cup.
These light, refreshing desserts are a great addition to any outdoor party. They get bonus points for being make ahead, and freezer friendly, so that you can concentrate on all of the other fine details you’ll be fretting over as you welcome the first patio guests of the summer!
