Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until mixed. Press into the bottom of a mini muffin pan. Bake for 5-7 minutes until golden, then cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, vanilla, and egg, mixing until combined. Pour in heavy cream and mix until velvety.
  3. Spoon cheesecake filling into each cooled crust. Smooth the surface and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm.
  4. Melt chopped chocolate and optional coconut oil. Allow it to cool slightly before coating.
  5. Remove cheesecake eggs from the pan. Dip in melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Set on parchment and sprinkle decorations if desired.
  6. Chill coated cheesecake eggs for 30-60 minutes until chocolate is set. Serve chilled on a platter.
