Ingredients

• Crust
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• 1 cup dates
•  
• Filling
• 1 ½ cups raw cashews (soaked overnight, or boiled for 20 minutes)
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• ¼ cup full fat coconut milk
•  
• Jam Top
• ½ cup of 3 berries jam (or the one you like the most) - choose sugar-free if needed

Instructions

1. Add nuts to a food processor and process them into a meal. Add dates (if they aren’t soft, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes and then rinse well. Blend until a loose dough forms – it should stick together when you squeeze a bit between your fingers.
2. Lightly grease a 6 muffin tin (not necessary if you’re using a silicone tin. To make removing the cheesecakes easier, cut strips of parchment paper and lay them in the slots. This creates little tabs that make removing them easier to pop out once frozen.
3. Next scoop in heaping tablespoon amounts of crust and press with fingers. Set in freezer to firm up.
4. Add all filling ingredients to a blender and mix until very smooth. For the coconut milk, I like to scoop the “cream” off the top because it provides a richer texture. But if yours is already all mixed together, just add it in as is. If it won’t come
   together, add a touch more lemon juice or agave or a splash more coconut milk liquid as the liquid should help it blend better.
5. Divide filling evenly among the muffin tins. Leave some place to pour the jam. Tap the pan a few times to release any air bubbles.
6. Add the jam on top of the filling, until all the surface is cover.
7. Finally cover with plastic wrap and freeze until hard – about 4-6 hours.
8. Once set, remove the cheesecakes very slowly. They should pop right out.

Notes

Keep in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks. You can set them out for 10 minutes before serving to soften, but I liked them frozen as well.
