You will need a super high powered blender or food processor for these! I have a vitamix thanks to my momma 5 yrs ago... LOVE that thing! It is soooo awesome!!!! Yes it is expensive, but you totally get your money out of them!
Here's what I did:
Strawberry "Cheese" Cake Bites
Crust:
3/4 - 1 cup almonds
3/4 cup pitted dates
juice from half a lemon
Filling:
2 1/2 cups raw cashews
juice from one and a half lemons
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
Topping:
9 medium strawberries
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp honey
mini chocolate chips are optional... But I really like a few on top! ;)
I made this in my mini muffin pan... So it made 24. :)
- Place all of the ingredients for the crust in a food processor/blender. Process until you have a sticky dough consistency.
- Take a small amount of crust and roll it into a ball. Then place it on the bottom of your muffin tin and press down firmly so it holds together.
- Clean your food processor/blender (the only annoying part of this process) and place all the ingredients for the filling inside. Process until you have a smooth cheesecake filling consistency
- Layer the filling on top of the crust, leaving just a little bit of room for the topping.
- Place all of the strawberry topping ingredients into the food processor/blender and blend until you have a sauce like consistency.
- Add the topping on top of each mini cheesecake. Add a few mini chocolate chips to the tops...
- Place in the freezer for about an hour or until they are set.
- Enjoy!
Everyone in my family LOVED these! Soooooo good!!!! :)
Let me know if you made these and how you liked them! Add anything, take away anything? :)
