I love my sweets, and there is nothing more heavenly than indulging in a nice decadent piece of cheesecake. These rich, creamy minis make for a perfect snack, are super easy to make and the best part is that there is no baking required. My version is dairy free, but I promise you won’t be missing a thing with these. They’re delicious and bursting with flavor- beware, you may have to stop yourself from eating the entire batch at once!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, liquified
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 6 whole graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 4 large strawberries
- 3 dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Directions:
1. Base- Crush graham crackers and mix with melted butter to form the crust. Press mixture evenly into the bottoms of cupcake molds.
2. Filling- Place cashews, coconut oil, juice of half a lemon, vanilla extract, syrup and banana in blender and process until smooth and creamy. Pour evenly on top of graham cracker base.
3. Topping- In a blender, process the strawberries, dates and lemon juice and spread on top of the filling layer.
4. Freeze for about an hour or until filling is firm throughout.
5. Gently lift the cakes out of the molds and enjoy!
Yields 6 cheesecake minis. Store in refrigerator.

These were delicious and quick to prepare! Reminds me of banana pudding😍. I’m so glad I had everything on hand. My husband and I killed them off in about 2 hours. Instead of fresh banana, I used frozen banana, instead of maple syrup I used 2 Tbsp of cane sugar, added about 3tbsp of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, used 1 tsp of lemon juice, and omitted the strawberry topping. I was worried that with the addition of milk that the minis would turn out rock hard, but they did not, thankfully. Amazing 🙂
These were indeed awesome! Even my teenage daughter who is still a non believer in all plant based was left with her mouth hanging open. My husband asked if it was easy to prepare and I would rate it easy to pull together. I also had to use a little more butter as the crust was a little dry but I also doubled the recipe. I did add additional strawberries as well as fresh raspberries and blackberries, since they where on sale this week. Will definitely make again and more than likely this will show up for Thanksgiving. Great job!!
Omg!!!! These are bomb too! First I had your cauliflower wings in my wrap and this for dessert 😩😋😋
To make 26 – what are the measurements?
Made this and so yum. Would you know how many calories each mini cheesecake, please.
WOW! just made these! Had a few difficulties, had to add a lot more butter to the graham crackers because it was too dry, and the filling came out thicker than yours, BUT it still tastes amazing and came out great! So thank you for the yummy recipe!

I have heard of vegan cheesecake but just never got around to making it until I watched your YouTube video. I was surprised at how quick the recipe was so I tried it today and these cheesecake bites will definitely be made at least every two weeks. Thank you for sharing!

Looks good. I’ve been trying out no dairy products. I found ice cream and yogurt. They taste super good. My daughter has eczema. Since I’m breastfeeding I have to lay low on the dairy. I’m going to try this out. I love cheese cake. I was definitely eyeing some at the supermarket yesterday.
