Calories 358kcal
Ingredients
- 1 frozen New York Style Cheesecake (Trader Joe’s)
- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- 3 drops Green Food Coloring
- 14 Mini Raspberry Mousse Cakes (Trader Joe’s)
- 30 Speckled Chocolate Almond Easter Eggs (Trader Joe’s)
- 1 Chocolate Easter Bunny (Trader Joe’s)
- 5 tablespoons Chocolate Almond Spread (Trader Joe’s)
Instructions
- Thaw Cheesecake - Let the cheesecake thaw at room temperature for about 1–2 hours, until soft but still firm. Place cake on pretty plate or cake stand. To help it to keep from sliding, try using a small piece of non-stick drawer liner on the cake plate before you place the cheesecake which comes with a little cake board underneath it (keep that there).
- Color the Coconut - Place shredded coconut in a zip-top bag. Add a few drops of green food coloring, seal, and shake until evenly coated. Or you can mix in a bowl.
- Add the “Glue” - Spread a thin layer of chocolate almond spread on the back of each mini raspberry mousse cake and stick them to sides of cheesecake all the way around.
- Decorate - Scoop the green coconut over the top to make grass. Add the chocolate bunny to the center, and scatter chocolate eggs on top.
- Chill & Serve - Refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice with a serrated knife for clean cuts.
