Equipment
- Muffin Tin
Ingredients
Chocolate Crust
- 1 cup pitted dates, if hard, soak in warm water for 10 minutes first, then drain
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup pecans, can sub more almonds but I love the flavor of pecans in crust!
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
Filling
- 1.5 cups raw cashews, soaked in warm water for 2 hours, then drained)
- 1 large lemon, juiced
- 1.5 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk, like the kind from a can
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup strawberries, finely chopped
Instructions
- Add dates to food processor and process until a paste forms. Remove and set aside
- Add the nuts and pinch of salt to the food processor and process until you get a fine crumb.
- Add in the date paste and the chocolate powder and process until combined.It should be sticky enough that you can pinch a ball off and it will stick together.
- Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. I didn't line these but you can also add in muffin liners if you'd like.
- Place 1 heaping tbsp. of crust in the bottom of the muffin tins and press down to fill.
- Make the filling: Place the drained cashews, lemon juice, cocoa powder, coconut oil, coconut milk, and maple syrup to a high-powered blender. Puree until creamy and smooth.
- Depending on the power of your blender, this may take anywhere from 2-5 minutes.
- Evenly pour the filling onto the crusts.
- Top with a pinch of finely chopped strawberries and swirl with a toothpick or chopstick to combine.
- Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours until hard.
- To remove, lightly run a butter knife around the edge of the cheesecakes- they should pop out!
