Cheesecake Cupcakes!
- 1 stick Butter
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 1/4 cup Graham cracker crumbles
- 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese ( not fully softened)
- 1 14oz sweetened condensed milk (SCM, for short)
- 1 Lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 Cherry pie filling, preserves, cookies
- Melt butter and add sugar so it can desolve.
- Put in graham crackers crumbles.
- You can now put this crust in a 9x13, 8 or 9 inch round or lined cupcake tins.
- I have used all of these before and it's just enough.
- If you use cupcake tins line them, put in around 1TBSP full and pat it down to line the bottom of the wrapper.
- For the filling take the cream cheese, the zest of the lemon ( make sure you clean off the lemon, you don't want the wax you want the peel) the juice of the lemon and the SCM and mix together.
- It looks like a lot of liquid but you want this to be creamy.
- Mix for about 3 or 4 minutes starting slow then increasing to high or put in the food processor.
- I like a hand mixer, it's worth the extra love!
- ( make sure your filling is smooth, I mixed this for another few minutes after this picture)
- Take the filling and add it to the crust.
- (At this point you could do anything, mix in your favorite candy bar, or instant pudding, fresh fruit or continue with this mixture. )
- I used 1/2 of the filling then I took a box of banana instant pudding and added to the rest of the filling mixer.
- You want to put a good amount in each cup but not fill them to the top.
- I used cherry pie filling on the ones without the pudding and mini vanilla wafers on the others.
- You could use fresh strawberries, preserves whatever you wanted or had hanging around the house.
- I placed them in containers by putting a fork in the side and pulling them out.
- You could refrigerate them in the cupcake tins.
- Let them set for at least 2 hours, it gets them settled.
- Enjoy!
- So many things you can do with this recipe!
