Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
   • Press a spoonful of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each shot glass or small dessert glass to form a crust layer. Set aside in the refrigerator to firm up.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, white sugar, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
   • Slowly add in the heavy cream, Fireball whiskey, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well-combined.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake Shots:
   • Spoon or pipe the Fireball whiskey cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust in each glass.
   • Top each shot with a spoonful of cherry pie filling or a single fresh cherry.
   • Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder over the top for extra spice.
4. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the cheesecake shots for at least 1 hour, or until set and chilled.
5. Serve:
   • Just before serving, add an extra drizzle of Fireball whiskey on top for a boozy kick, if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
