There are people who ask are no bake cheesecakes good.
Personally, I have yet to find a cheesecake that is not good.
However, I must say that some are better than others.
What makes these cheesecakes so good is the topping that can be added to them.
The topping is simply sugar free jam. You can find sugar free keto friendly jam here, make your own sugar free jam using this recipe, or simply omit the topping.
How to make a vegan cheesecake crust.
I am offering two crust recipes depending on if you want to stick to vegan or sugar free.
This is a simple recipe that can be made in a food processor or using a strong blender. Feel free to use this crust or the crust of your choice in this recipe.
Here is what you will need to make the crust.
One cup of walnuts that have been processed into a meal and one cup of dates that have their pits removed. Process these ingredients until you get a loose dough-like texture that is still able to stick to your fingers.
Here are some tips for making no bake cheesecakes.
You can use the vegan no bake cheesecake crust just provided or you can use the low carb no bake cheesecake crust below. Also mentioned was that you can omit the fruit topping or you can use sugar free keto friendly jam or make your own sugar free jam using this recipe.
Here are some more helpful tips for you.
- This recipe for cheesecakes is made in a muffin tin.To make it easier to remove the cheesecakes simply cut strips of parchment paper that you can line each of the individual tins with before you press the crust into them. Make sure that the strips (I use two per cheesecake) extend enough to use the extended paper as handles later on.
- This recipe uses unsweetened full fat coconut milk instead of dairy. Feel free to sub in heavy whipping cream or even plain unsweetened Greek yogurt for this if a vegan dessert is not necessary for you.
- This filling in this Cheesecake is sweetened with maple syrup. A sugar free alternative low carb can be used instead. These alternatives include Yakon Syrup, Agave and some Stevia liquid choices. Please check the labeling on the product to make sure that you are using an equivalent amount and not the same amount as the maple syrup as this may differ. If you are using a sugar alternative that measure 1:1 with sugar, you will need about one and a quarter cups of that.
How to make a low carb cheesecake crust
To make the low car cheesecake crust, combine almond meal1 cup with three to four tablespoons of melted butter and two tablespoons of sugar alternative (yes, almond flour is fine but, the texture will not be exactly the same). Make adjustments as needed to make the crust perfect for your cheesecakes.

How to make Low Carb No Bake Vegan Mini Cheesecakes.
- Prepare the ingredients for the crust as instructed above. Make sure that your cashews have been soaked overnight to soften.
- Next, Prepare a muffin tin for nonstick (I use a nonstick spray).To make it easier to remove the cheesecakes simply cut strips of parchment paper that you can line each of the individual tins with before you press the crust into them. Make sure that the strips (I use two per cheesecake) extend enough to use the extended paper as handles later on.
- Press one tablespoon of the prepared crust ingredients into the bottom of each of the muffin cups. Then place the muffin tin in the freezer to get firm while you work on the filling.
- Use a strong blender to combine together the cashews with the syrup until just combined. Then add the vanilla extract, coconut oil and coconut milk and blend until somewhat smooth. You can add the lemon juice as needed to both flavor and texture.
- Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to fill each of the muffin cups and then top with the jam. Cover the cheesecakes with plastic wrap and return the cheesecakes to the freezer. Allow the cheesecakes to get hard (overnight should work). Allow the cheesecakes to sit for about ten minutes on the counter before serving. They should also keep for up to two weeks if left in the freezer well covered.
