    IS HEALTHY VANILLA CHEESECAKE HEALTHY FOR DIET?

It's okay to eat in moderation, but if you want a healthy cheesecake recipe without cream cheese or refined sugar, this is the recipe for you!

    TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST HEALTHY VANILLA CHEESECAKE RECIPE WITHOUT CREAM CHEESE

    USE RAW UNSALTED CASHEWS. Raw cashews blend into a creamy cheesecake texture way better than roasted.

    SOAK CASHEWS IN COOL FILTERED WATER OVERNIGHT. Soaking the cashews allows them to soften and blend into a delicious creamy texture.

    USE SILICONE TARTLET MOLDS. This makes it way easier to get your cheesecake tarts out!

    FOOD PROCESS TILL THE BATTER IS TOTALLY SMOOTH. Keep your food processor going until your batter is as smooth as cream cheese.

    ALLOW TO FIRM UP IN THE FREEZER 2 HOURS - OVERNIGHT. Freezing will help hold the shape of the cheesecake.

    THAW 15-30 MINUTES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE SERVING. This will create the best creamy cheesecake like texture.

    HOW TO MAKE MY HEALTHY VANILLA CHEESECAKE RECIPE WITH NO CREAM CHEESE

    Step 1: Soak the cashews

    Soaking the cashews allows them to soften and blend into a delicious creamy texture. I usually soak mine in a glass container overnight. But, in a pinch, you can soak them for 1 hour in hot water while you prepare the rest of your recipe.

    Step 2: Prepare the healthy cheesecake crust with almonds

    Combine in a blender or food processor: 1 cup almonds, 1 cup pitted dates, ⅛ cup cacao powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.

    The texture should look pretty crumbly. But, when you press into your tart molds it will come together. Make sure to divide the mixture evenly between the tart molds before you press it down.

    Step 3: Make your healthy creamy cashew cheesecake filling

    In a blender or food processor add the soaked cashews, melted coconut oil, almond milk, pure vanilla extract, soaked pitted dates and fresh lemon juice. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Evenly divide the batter between the 6 tarts. Cover and place in the freezer at least 2 hours.

    Step 4: Thaw and top!

    Thaw your tart for about 15 minutes at room temperature before you eat them. Top with fresh blueberries or your favorite fresh fruit!

    Enjoy!

    HOW TO STORE HEALTHY MINI CHEESECAKES

    They can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

    FAQ'S

    Frequently asked questions about my healthy no bake vanilla cheesecake recipe.

    WHAT CAN YOU SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR IN CHEESECAKE?

    Use pitted and soaked dates! Dates are amazing because they have a super sweet flavor with no added sugars.

    WHAT KIND OF CASHEWS SHOULD I USE IN HEALTHY CHEESECAKE?

    My healthy no bake cheesecake is made with raw unsalted cashews. You can't use roasted or salted cashews in my recipe.

    HOW CAN I MAKE HEALTHY CHEESECAKE BARS INSTEAD?

    Simply use 1 pan with at least 1 inch sides instead of 6 tartlet molds. The larger the pan, the thinner your cheesecake bars will be.

      Hi I'm allergic to dates so what can I use

      for the crust you could use dried apricots or dried raisins (so the crust is sticky) and for the filling you could use 1/4 cup honey. Hope this helps!
