Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. There's so many delicious varieties of this creamy dessert. Personally I am a big fan of mini desserts. Mini desserts are great when you just want a little something sweet! Also, perfect for family dinners or parties. Everyone can serve themselves!!
I found so many cheesecakes I thought about making but settled on a regular cheesecake recipe, decorated for the upcoming Easter holiday. These would be a fun one to make with the kids. They can help color the coconut and put the jelly beans on top. You could also use malted milk eggs. Fun and easy!!
Easter Basket Mini Cheesecakes
12 vanilla wafers
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened
1/2cup sugar
1/2tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1-1/2cups coconut, tinted green
36 small jelly beans
HEAT oven to 350°F.
PLACE 1 wafer in each of 12 paper-lined muffin cups. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add eggs; beat just until blended. Spoon over wafers.
BAKE 20 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 2 hours.
TOP with coconut and jelly beans just before serving.
