These mini cherry pies feature a creamy cheesecake-like filling and a layer of cherry pie filling, topped with a gory red glaze and a googly eyeball. They're simple to make and perfect for Halloween parties.

Ingredients

8 mini graham cracker pie crusts

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

½ cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling

Eyeball icing decorations (or candy eyeballs)

Directions

Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk and continue beating until thoroughly combined. Then mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the 8 mini graham cracker crusts, filling each about halfway. Spoon a portion of cherry pie filling on top, followed by another smaller dollop of the cream cheese mixture. Gently spread the top layer so that some red cherry filling peeks through around the edges.

Place one eyeball decoration in the center of each pie. Use a spoon to drizzle a little of the remaining glaze from the cherry pie filling over the top, creating red streaks around the eyeball.

Refrigerate the pies until the filling is set and firm, then serve chilled.
