Birds Nest Mini Cheesecakes

• 1 1/4 cups Graham wafers
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 pkgs Cream Cheese
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup and a bit coconut
• 54 eggs

How to make the Mini Cheesecakes

1. I divided the recipe into 2/3rds and 1/3 so I could make some chocolate ones as well.  The recipe makes 18 mini cheesecakes.
2. Graham wafers and melted butter should be blended together, add a spoonful of the mixture to each paper cup. Press firmly.
3. Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together  add one egg at a time,
   on slow speed and when completely blended spoon into the paper cups.
4. For vanilla I used 1/2 cup sugar, 2 pkgs of cream cheese and a cap of vanilla,
    once blended I slowly added the two eggs.
5. For Chocolate: I used one pkg of cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and
    small cap of vanilla, slowly add one egg.
6. Coconut and eggs were recommended to be added after they cakes were cooled. I decided to toast the coconut so i have a brownish shade
7. Cook at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, remove from oven and let cool for three hours ( then add 1 tbsp of coconut and the eggs for a birds nest effect.)  For me I added the coconut and eggs immediately hoping to have them adhere better to the cakes.
