How Do You Make No-Bake Vegan Cheesecakes?
Step 1. Soak the Cashews
Soak two cups of cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. If you are shorter on time, you can bring several cups of water to a boil, carefully pour the water into a bowl with the cashews, and allow them to soak for 1-2 hours.
Step 2. Make the Berry Sauce
Adding the berry sauce is optional. Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen berries, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the fruit is soft and melted, mash it with a fork or potato masher. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then transfer to a bowl to cool.
Step 3. grind the almonds
Add the almonds to a food processor and grind on high until they are crushed to a crumbly texture.
Step 4. Make the Crust
Add the almond flour, golden raisins, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor and mix until well blended. It is the perfect consistency when you squeeze it together and it holds its shape.
Step 5. Press into Pan
Distribute the crust mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups. I like to use a medium-sized cookie scoop. Then press it firmly into the bottom of the cups with your fingers.
Step 6. Make the Filling
Wash out your food processor bowl and blade. Then add the soaked and drained cashews, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt to your food processor and blend on high for several minutes until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 7. Fill the Cups
Pour the filling into the muffin cups. I like to use a 1/3 cup batter scoop. Tap the muffin tray a few times on the counter once the trays are filled to remove any air bubbles.
Step 9. Freeze & Enjoy!
Place the muffin tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours for the filling to set. Then you can eat frozen or set them out on the counter for 15-30 minutes until they thaw to your desired consistency.
