Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for ramekins
1/2 pound Bing cherries (about 30 cherries), pitted
3 tablespoons Kirsch (cherry brandy)
1 pound cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
2 large eggs, room temperature
Cocoa, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter 6 (6-ounce) ramekins
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the cherries and 1 tablespoon of the Kirsch, and cook until the fruit softens and glazes, about 7 minutes. Divide the cherries with their juices evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  • Pulse the cream cheese, sugar substitute, eggs, and remaining 2 tablespoons of Kirsch in a food processor until smooth. Pour the filling into the ramekins.
  • Bake the cheesecakes until the edges puff slightly and the centers almost set, about 25 minutes. Cool the cheesecakes on a rack in the ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • When ready to serve, run a small knife around the outside of the cheesecakes. Carefully invert each cheesecake onto a plate, then flip the cheesecakes over so the cherries are on the bottom. Lightly dust with cocoa.

These mini cheesecakes are a great way to use up leftover cherries. They're also a great make-ahead dessert. I made them the day before my party and they were still delicious the next day.
