Tiny Cherry Cheesecakes (Chocolate Crust) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Crust
    1 cup flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
    1/2 cup cold butter or 1/2 cup margarine
    2 tablespoons cold water
    Filling
    6 ounces cream cheese
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 egg
    1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (you probably won't need the whole can)
Preparation
    In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cocoa; cut in butter until crumbly.
    Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
    Shape into 24 balls and press up sides of greased mini muffin cups.
    In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in milk and vanilla.
    Add egg; beat on low just until combined.
    Spoon about 1 Tbsp into each cup.
    Bake at 325 F for 15-18 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
    Carefully remove from pans to cool completely.
    Top with pie filling.
    Store in the refrigerator.
