Trio of Mini Cheesecakes

The most amazing No-bake Mini "Cheesecake" Cups ever, made without dairy and can be made with lots of different flavors.This recipe features a classic graham cracker crust, has the most amazing “cream cheese” filling and is finished with three wonderful toppings. This is the perfect summertime dessert. Sooo good!

Yields: 24

Ingredients:
For the Crust
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the "Cheesecake" Filling
1 3/4 cups soaked raw cashews, drained (soak in water for at least 4 hours or overnight)
7 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Raspberry-Lemon Topping
1/4 cup frozen or fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
zest of 1/2 lemon, optional
For the Mango-Lime Topping
1/4 fresh or frozen mango chunks
1 tablespoon lime juice
zest of 1/2 lime, optional
For the Chocolate-Caramel Topping
Chocolate Syrup
Caramel Sauce

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two mini muffin pans with paper liners (24 total).

Combine graham cracker crumbs (I have found that it is easiest to crush graham crackers in a ziptop bag with a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor for a couple of seconds) with melted butter until fully incorporated. Press about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into each lined muffin tin. Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Set aside.

In a blender, mix together soaked cashews, lemon juice, honey, coconut oil and vanilla. Puree until smooth and no chunks remain. Pour cheesecake mixture into each muffin tin until about 3/4 full.

Rinse out blender and puree together raspberries and lemon juice until smooth. Equally top 8 mini cheesecakes with raspberry-lemon puree until almost full. Using a toothpick, create the swirl affect. Finish with lemon zest.

Repeat step 3 with the mango-lime topping.

Top remaining 8 mini cheesecakes with as much chocolate syrup and caramel sauce as desired. Create a pattern using a toothpick as well.

Place pans in the freezer and let set, about 4 hours or overnight. Remove 15 minutes before serving from freezer for perfect cheesecake consistency.

Notes
Mini Cheesecakes will keep up to 2 weeks covered and stored in the freezer.
