INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup pecans
- 6 dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup strawberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Juice from half a lemon (1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Mini Chips)
DIRECTIONS
- Soak the cashews for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- Add the pecans, dates, coconut, and sea salt to a food processor and process until a slightly sticky, crumbly dough forms.
- Press dough into the bottom of 22 mini cupcake sections using the back of a spoon and your fingertips. This makes the crust for the cheesecakes.
- Place them in the freezer while you make the strawberry cheesecake filling.
- Clean and dry the food processor. Drain the cashews and add those plus the strawberries, maple syrup, coconut oil, and lemon juice to the food processor and turn on for a couple minutes until a thick, creamy filling forms.
- Take the muffin tin out of the freezer and fill each with the strawberry cream filling. Sprinkle with a few chocolate chips and freeze for at least an hour.
- Allow to thaw for 15 minutes before serving.
