Peanut Butter Cookie Cashew Cheesecake Cups
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil (refined for no coconut flavor), you can use light olive oil too
- 2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start with soaking the raw cashews in a bowl covering them in water for 4-12 hrs.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl combine peanut butter, egg, coconut sugar and baking soda.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into each muffin liner and flatten slightly.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven, then use the bottom of a wooden spoon, or the bottom of a jar of spices to press down the middle of the cookie to make it into a cup. Then let them cool.
- Once the cashews are done soaking drain water and add to a high powered blender or food processor with remaining ingredients except chocolate chips.
- Put cashew mixture in ziplock bag with cut off the tip.
- Once cookies have cooled, squeeze cashew mixture into the cookie cups.
- Put them in the freezer for 30 minutes, then melt chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle the melted chocolate on top.
- Freeze for at least another hour to harden, then store in a ziplock bag in the freezer.
Lovedd these treats!! I made them in mini muffin tin so they are a perfect bite size piece, I feel like one or two fill me up and are a delicious treat! I prefer eating them straight out of the freezer for the texture.
So glad you enjoy them!!
These are sooooo delicious!! My husband can’t stop talking about how good they are. He said it’s the best dessert I’ve ever made 🙂 thanks for the fantastic recipe!
So Amazing!!
These are absolutely amazing. I used bob’s red mill egg replacer and worked perfectly for an egg-free/vegan version. I also didn’t have enough coconut sugar so used 1/2 c almond flour and worked great. The cashew cream part is amazing. Seriously best recipe ever – thank you so much!
Great replacements! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I have never attempted to make cashew-based cheesecakes before, but I am so glad that I did! These were delicious! I will definitely make this dessert again.
These were some of the best dairy-free cheesecakes I’ve ever had!! Super easy to make and definitely a crowd-pleaser. Will definitely be making these again!
We love a cheesecake crowd pleaser!
