👩🍳 How to Make Mini Vegan Strawberry Cheesecakes
1️⃣ Make the crust
Mix crushed cookies, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until it resembles wet sand.
Press firmly into lined muffin tins or silicone molds. Chill while you prepare the filling.
2️⃣ Blend the cheesecake layer
Drain soaked cashews and add to a high-speed blender with coconut cream, strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt.
Blend until ultra-smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Assemble
Pour the filling over the chilled crusts. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
4️⃣ Chill until set
Freeze for 2–3 hours or refrigerate overnight until firm.
5️⃣ Decorate & serve
Top with strawberries just before serving for the prettiest finish 🍓
