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 into the office and a little Easter thrown in as well. They are super easy to make.
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.
These are just the right size for dessert.
