Soaked cashews and coconut cream pair up to create a silky, dairy-free cheesecake layer. Tip: Allow the cashews to soak overnight to create an extra smooth blend.
Monk fruit sweetener keeps things keto and low carb. Best part is, it doesn’t include the bitter aftertaste that many calorie-free sweeteners are known for. If you’re not following a strict keto diet, you can substitute it with raw honey or maple syrup.
To get started, begin by blending the ingredients for the crust layer in a food processor. Pulse until fine and crumbly with a consistency that’s similar to wet sand. When ready, press the mixture into six muffin tin cavities prepped with liners. Transfer to a freezer and let it set for 10 minutes.
While the crust sets, prepare the cheesecake layer in the food processor by blending its ingredients until smooth and creamy. Spoon the cheesecake mixture onto each crust layer and freeze for 20 minutes. Serve chilled and enjoy or keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tip: These cheesecakes can be frozen for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator for up to six hours before serving.
