INSTRUCTIONS

Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 4 hours

Crust: Blend/pulse pecans until coarsely ground, then add in remaining ingredients and pulse until ingredients combine. In a cupcake pan line with parchment paper or cupcake liners. Spoon out 1 tbsp of mixture, and spread and press firmly down. Pop in the freezer while you prep the filling.

Filling: Soak cashews overnight or for 4 hours. In a hurry boil for 10 min. Blend cashews until ground and scrape down the sides.Next, add all remaining ingredients EXCEPT the coconut oil. Adding coconut oil to cold ingredients will cause it to clump and harden.

Blend until you get a creamy texture and no chunks. Now add in coconut oil and blend for 30 seconds on high. Depending on your blender you may have to stop and scrape down the sides a few times in this process. I usually give it a taste and see if I need to spice or sweeten it up.

If you want more cheesecake tang add more lemon, sweeter add some honey or maple or an additional scoop of vanilla collagen.

Next fill each mold to the top with cheesecake mixture. Cover and freeze for 4 hours before serving.

When serving I usually allow them to thaw for 5-10 min before serving, but wait too long they loose their texture.

I serve mine with a dollop of homemade coconut whipped cream!

Enjoy!
