Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 Cup Quick Oats
  • Cup Raisins or Dates
  • 2 Tablespoons Nut Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup

Filling

  • 8 Ounces Raw Cashews
  • 1 ⅓ Cups Cranberries
  • ½ Cup Maple Syrup
  • Cup Hot Water

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes.
  • Make the crust. Pulse all the crust ingredients together in a food processor until combined. The mixture should stick together when pinched. Press into cups of a muffin tin or cake pan. I used a muffin tin, for individually-portioned cheesecakes, but you can use a cake pan for one large cheesecake.
  • Make the cranberry cheesecake filling. Add all the filling ingredients to the food processor and process until the mixture is smooth and silky (this will take a couple minutes). Scoop a couple tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin cup, or pour the entire mixture into your cake pan.
  • Place the muffin tin/cake pan in the freezer for at least two hours to let the cheesecake freeze completely. When ready to eat, use a knife to remove the cheesecake cups from the tin. Let thaw for a couple minutes before eating. Store in the freezer. Enjoy!
