We are huge The Blacklist fans in our house. We started out watching it when it first started to air and expected it to be my like dramas. We watch a few episodes, get really bored and stop halfway through the first season. The Blacklist hasn’t been like that at all for us. We can hardly wait until the next episode. These tarts remind me a little bit of Reddington because they are rich and delicious, but also a little sneaky with the ingredients. We love to mix up a batch before the show starts and there are rarely any afterward!
You will need:
- 2 8-oz packages of cream cheese (softened)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- vanilla wafers
- cupcake wrappers
- cherry pie filling
Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs together until very smooth. Add a wafer to the bottom of each muffin tin. Sometimes I make mini versions of these with a mini muffin tin and the wafers are the perfect size to fill the bottom.
Spoon the filling over the wafers until each cupcake wrapper is two thirds full of filling. This should take just about all of the filling you made.
Bake the tarts at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. It usually takes my oven on the longer side for these to be completely set. Wait for the cheesecakes to cool completely and then top with cherry pie filling for the perfect finishing touch.
Love your recipe! They look so delicious! I love cheesecake! Oh, and I love Blacklist, too! I think James Spader is the hottest man ever! He makes the perfect bad/good guy. His wit is also just perfect. I never miss an episode!
That recipe looks so delicious! I love cheesecake with fruit on it!
Yum! These look delicious! I haven't seen The Blacklist but I've heard it is awesome!
These are adorable and look so tasty. I love cherry topped cheesecake. I haven't seen The Blacklist, will need to check it out. Hope you'll linkup with us at Small Victories Sunday Linkup open all week!
The Blacklist is a great show. I have fallen so behind on watching it. I love how you compared these little cheesecakes to Red.
These look great! I love that they're bite sized!
I love the Blacklist & haven't missed an episode. I love that 'someone' is back 😉
These look really tasty! Maybe I need to watch Blacklist. 😉
I love the look of this delicious desert and because it is bite sized it is easy to have on the go.
My daughter loves to bake. We will try this!! This looks so good!!
Oh wow, those tarts look amazing! I am going to try this.
These look so good and I love how cute they are!
What a fun recipe! I love the little cookie in the bottom of it. I might have to try these for our Christmas party this year!
Never was too keen on cheesecake but boy cherries are amazing. Just tried the cherry pie from whole foods (vegan) it's so good! Got the apple for tomorrow!
The Blacklist is always on my TO WATCH list. That dessert is SO perfect for the holidays.
I knew the name sounded familiar. My love, loves watching this show.
LOVE these! I make them every year for our Christmas Eve party. They are delicious, and not too heavy…which means I eat more than I should!
Oh those look so good! I love cheesecake more than pie, would be great for holiday dessert.
