Overview: How To Make Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes?
These Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes are a delightful treat that’s both easy to make and absolutely scrumptious! Created by Jo-Anna Rooney, these cupcakes are sure to vanish in no time, thanks to their irresistible charm and flavor.
Preparation is a breeze, taking only about 10 minutes, and the total time from start to finish clocks in at just 1 hour and 10 minutes. With a yield of around 30 cupcakes, there’s plenty to go around for sharing or indulging to your heart’s content.
To whip up these delightful treats, you’ll need simple ingredients like vanilla wafers, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, and cherry pie filling. Once you’ve preheated your oven to 350 degrees, it’s time to get mixing. Blend together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and lemon juice until velvety smooth, then set aside.
Next, line your muffin tin with cupcake liners and place a vanilla wafer at the bottom of each cup. Fill them about 3/4 full with the creamy batter, ensuring even distribution. Bake each tray separately for 20-22 minutes to ensure uniform baking. After they’ve cooled, add a dollop of cherry pie filling to the center of each cupcake for that signature cherry cheesecake flavor.
Finally, chill them in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly. Voila! You’re ready to delight your taste buds with these adorable and delectable Cherry Cheesecake Cupcakes.

Time for The Tips!
- Pick your filling: Using cherry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, raspberry jam, or any other favorite filling can add a burst of flavor to your cheesecake cupcakes. It’s a versatile way to customize your cupcakes to suit different preferences.
- You can freeze them: Freezing the cheesecake cupcakes is a convenient option for preparing them in advance. Just be sure to leave out the filling until you’re ready to serve them. Storing them in an airtight container helps maintain their freshness.
- Let them cool: Allowing the cupcakes to cool properly before consuming them ensures that they are set properly and have the right texture. Cooling them in the fridge for at least an hour helps them firm up and enhances the taste.
- They’re even better the second day: Like many desserts, cheesecake cupcakes often taste better the day after they’re made. This is because the flavors have time to meld together and develop further. Making them a day ahead of when you plan to serve them can result in a more flavorful and satisfying treat for your guests.
