Ingredients

CRUST INGREDIENTS

  • ¾ cup pecans
  • ½ cup of gluten-free oats
  • ¼ cup of shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 generous pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cups of dates

“CHEESECAKE” LAYER INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ½ cups cashews soaked in water overnight, then drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup full fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • ¼ cup prunes
  • ½ cup prune juice

TOPPING

  • Whole sliced or diced prunes!

Instructions

The Day Before

  • Add the raw cashews into a large bowl and add water until the cashews are fully submerged, cover and place in the fridge.

Day Of

  • Begin by making the crust; add all crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse for at least 60 seconds, until the mixture becomes sticky enough to easily hold together when squeezed between your fingers. Evenly separate crust mixture into a silicone muffin tin. Press down with your fingers or the bottom of a glass to flatten crust layer.
  • Next, add the soaked cashews, coconut milk, juice from one lemon, vanilla extract, prunes, and prune juice into a food processor and pulse for 5-8 minutes, until the mixture becomes smooth.
  • Add the cheesecake filling on top of the crusts spread out evenly, give the pan a few taps on the counter to help the layers settle. Top with whole, sliced or diced prunes. Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours (ideally overnight) then pop the mini ‘cheesecakes’ from the muffin tin and serve or store in the freezer. Let the cheesecakes sit on the counter for 5 minutes after pulling from the freezer, before enjoying.
