Easter Mini Cheesecakes

Easter Mini Cheesecakes


Cheesecake is just one of those desserts  that you can make in so many ways: Chocolate, New York style, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Macadamia nut. Are you getting my drift here? Endless possibilities!
 
I bake for my husband's office often. It gives me a chance to make desserts which is my favorite thing to do, but hate having too much dessert around.

These Easter Mini Cheesecakes came from Kraft. I thought they would be great to send in and a little Easter thrown in as well. They are super easy to make.

Let's see how to make these scrumptious little morsels.

Making Easter Mini Cheesecakes:

Aluminum foil cupcake liners make this job easy.  Mix up the graham cracker base and place about 1 tablespoon per cupcake liner. 

Next, mix up the cream cheese base and spoon it over the graham cracker crust. Bake them for about 30 minutes and then refrigerated them for a few hours. Now you wait!


Remove the foil liners and top with some toasted coconut and jelly beans
