Servings 24 bite-sized cheesecakes
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup fine, blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
For the Cheesecake
- 1/4 cup maple sugar
- 2 teaspoons grass-fed gelatin
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
- 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toast the Almond Flour: Heat skillet on medium-high. Add almond flour, and let sit for 2 minutes before beginning to stir consistently with a spatula. Stir and continue to toast until almond flour is nutty and fragrant, and turns a deep golden. Once you start to see the bottom layer of almond flour touching the pan turn a deep brown as you stir, it is ready to take off the heat. This should take 4-6 minutes.
- Make the Crust: Transfer the almond flour immediately to a medium bowl. Add maple sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine thoroughly. Add melted coconut oil and mix until coconut oil is evenly distributed. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a small bowl, mix gelatin and maple sugar. Add almond milk and whisk until gelatin is dissolved.
- In a large bowl, add cream cheese, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or by hand until ingredients are combined and mixture is creamy. Gradually add in gelatin mixture, beating until well combined.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Bites and Set: Prepare either mini-muffin tin or full-sized muffin tin with 24 mini-cupcake liners or 9 cupcake liners, respectively. Distribute crust mixture evenly between tins, pressing mixture down into each tin with your fingers or a teaspoon to condense into a firm crust.
- Distribute cheesecake mixture evenly between the tins, spreading the mixture with a spoon to evenly fill each tin.
- Cover and place in the fridge to set for 3 hours. Add fruit as garnish and enjoy!
