Elegant Cherry Pistachio Tartlets

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of tartlet pans to form the crust.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the fresh chopped cherries and pistachios, reserving a few pistachios for topping.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the cooled tartlet crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Spread a thin layer of cherry jam over the cream cheese filling, then sprinkle with the reserved chopped pistachios.
Refrigerate the tartlets for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
