Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1/2 cup vanilla wafer or graham cracker crumbs Crushed into fine crumbs.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese Softened.
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk Adds richness and sweetness.
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice Balances the sweetness.
For the Topping
  • 21 ounces cherry pie filling For layering on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crush the vanilla wafers or graham crackers into fine crumbs and set aside.
  2. Whip the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy.
  3. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
  4. Incorporate the fresh lemon juice, beating until thickened.
Assembly
  1. In each serving glass, add a layer of about one tablespoon of cookie crumbs.
  2. Spoon approximately two tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the crumbles.
  3. Add about one tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer.
  4. Repeat the layers: another layer of cream cheese mixture followed by another scoop of cherry pie filling.
  5. Garnish each shooter with a sprig of fresh mint.
Chilling

Notes

Make the cream cheese mixture a day in advance. Consider substituting cherry pie filling with other fruit varieties or adding chocolate ganache for variations.
