Servings: 36

Prep Time: 40 min.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 package (.25 oz.) unflavored gelatin
  • 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp. almond extract
  • 36 graham cracker stick cookies
  • 1 can (18 oz.) cherry pie filling

Supplies

  • Ramekin

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Line 36 mini-muffin cups with mini-muffin paper liners.

  2. Step 2

    Place the lemon juice in a ramekin (baking dish). Sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon juice and let stand for 5 minutes.

    Spoon the mixture into the paper liners. Cover top lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
