Ingredients
  • 2 pk (8 oz each) Cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 12 nilla wafers
  • 1 1/2 cup coconut flakes, tinted green
  • 36 small jelly beans

  • Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; beat just until blended.
  • Place wafer on bottom of each of 12 paper lined medium muffin cups. Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over wafers.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Top evenly with coconut and jelly beans just before serving. Bend each licorice piece, then insert both ends into each cheesecake to resemble the handle of a basket. Store left over cheesecakes in refrigerator.
