Tiny Cherry Cheesecakes image

I prepare these mini cheesecakes every Christmas and for many weddings. I've received countless compliments and recipe requests. When I send these along in my husband's lunch, I have to be sure to pack to extras because the men he works with love them, too. -Janice Hertlein, Esterhazy, Saskatchewan

These tiny cherry cheesecakes are a delightful treat! The cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy, while the cherry topping is sweet and tart. The crust is the perfect balance of buttery and flaky.
