Vegan and gluten-free treats with under 100 calories per mini cheesecake.
When I’m working on a new recipe, I like to start out with a smaller batch first, before making a whole pan of something I’ve never tried. So when I got the idea of making a raw vegan cashew cheesecake, I wanted to start out mini. As it turns out, I loved the miniature versions of a raw cheesecake too much to ever turn them into a full-blown cake.
These bite-sized cheesecakes are light, creamy and just perfect to satisfy your cravings without having to commit to a whole slice. With only 51 calories per serving, these mini cheesecakes are the perfect afternoon snack.
Mini Raw Cheesecakes
Vegan and gluten-free treats with under 100 calories per mini cheesecake.
ingredients
Cheesecake
- ½ cup cashews, soaked and drained*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Raspberry Coulis
- ¾ cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
instructions
- Put all the cheesecake ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until the cream is perfectly smooth.
- Grease 12 mini muffin cups. Divide the cashew cream evenly among the muffin cups and place them in the fridge.
- To make the raspberry coulis, heat the syrup, raspberries and water in a small saucepan. Cook until the raspberries begin to fall apart, 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Let it cool slightly, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Place one teaspoon of the coulis in the middle of each mini cheesecake. Transfer the cheesecakes to the freezer and allow them to set, about 2 to 4 hours.
- Once set, remove by loosening them with a butter knife. They are best if you let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
notes
*Soak the cashews for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. The longer you soak them, the smoother the filling will be. Drain and rinse before use.
