Love chocolate cheesecake? Try our no-bake mini vegan cheesecakes.

We love cheesecake but as we all know it’s not the healthiest of things to eat but we don’t like to sacrifice the taste either. That’s why we decided to try out a no-bake mini vegan cheesecake, chocolate flavor of course. While you can do this in almost any flavor chocolate cheesecake is one of our absolute favorites. You’ll be surprised at how delicious these taste and yes they taste like a rich cheesecake!

Vegan CheesecakeIt is a bit more work to make these mini vegan cheesecakes compared to regular cheesecakes because you have to soak the cashews. It’s not a ton of time more and I promise it’s totally worth any wait. Top the delicious little chocolate mini vegan cheesecakes with your favorite fresh fruit and it’s a dessert everyone will love.

Ingredients

Oreo Crust:

  • 2 cups crushed oreos
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:

  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup roasted unsalted cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Cashews

  1. First, boil 2 cups of water. Place cashews in a mason jar and pour boiling water over nuts until they are completely covered. Let soak for 1 hour.

Make the Crust

  1. Grease a mini cheesecake pan, then set aside.
  2. Mix melted coconut oil and cookie crumbs together until well combined.
  3. Drop 1 tablespoon scoops of the crust into each well of the mini cheesecake pan and press the crumbs evenly around the bottom of the well.
  4. Repeat with each well until all the cookie mixture has been used.
  5. Put the mini cheesecake pan in the freezer for the crusts to harden.

Make the Filling

  1. Drain the cashews.
  2. Put all the ingredients in the order listed into a high-powered blender.
  3. Turn blender on low, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until all ingredients are combined and mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Putting it together

  1. Remove pan from the freezer, making sure crusts are hardened, then add 2 tablespoons of the chocolate filling to each well. Smooth with the back of a spoon and tap the pan against a hard surface to release the air out of each well.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Enjoy with fresh berries.

Notes

Remember the 1 hour 15 minutes prep time includes soaking the cashews so it’s not a lot work, just some waiting.

vegan cheesecakeIt’s not a lot of work, the most time spent is first waiting for the cashews to soak and then for the mini vegan cheesecakes to chill. The actual amount of time spent making this delicious chocolate mini vegan cheesecake is minimal but still worth every minute. Just look at how yummy these chocolate vegan cheesecakes look. Smooth and creamy and the taste will have you wanting more. vegan cheesecake PINIf you try our No-Bake Mini Vegan Cheesecake recipe let us know how you liked it or what you might have done differently.

  43. In my family we would use baby sywstick crackers for the crust but Nabisco changed their recipe and the new ones just don’t work. These mini cheesecake crusts sound delicious so I’m really thinking about making them with the no bake filling. Who knows, maybe it will work for the cooked filling I do.
