Coconut Churro Cheesecake Bites

Servings: 24-30 bite-sized treats

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a mini muffin tin. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Add the Coconut and Pecans to the Cheesecake Filling

Mix in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans into the cheesecake filling.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Cheesecake Bites

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling into each mini muffin tin. Top with a piece of graham cracker crust. Repeat this process for the remaining ingredients.

Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Allow the cheesecake bites to cool completely in the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
