This was my first time ever making raw vegan cheesecake, or cheesecake in general, in my whole life, and it came out SOOOO GOOOOD! They got eaten up fast, so I already made a bunch more along with the upside down cheesecake I had for Valentines! :)
(That second batch is almost already finished too!! So I'm gonna be making a third batch soon! Each time I'm making exponentially more at once because of how easy and fast they get eaten!!! Though none will ever be the same as I like to play around and change up the ingredients each time!:)
This is one of the EASIEST recipes I've EVER seen yet SO DELICIOUS!!!!
How to make RAW VEGAN CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES!!!! (Or a normal cheesecake and not cupcake, if you prefer!)
So the basics to a raw cheesecake is to combine a base/crust and cream top!
I will do as usual and first write the "normal" recipes, before sharing my upgraded versions! :)
For the base you can use pretty much any fruit and nut/seed combination of your preference, though most commonly in any recipe you will find that people use dates and walnuts.
For the cream you will (most commonly) use cashews, coconut oil, lemon juice, coconut cream, and agave.
The steps are just as simple!
- Put the base ingredients into the food processor and chop it up nice and small.
- Put the cream ingredients into the blender and make it blend as thick and smooth and creamy possible!
- Then use cupcake molds and fill them with cream or base and then put the base or cream on top, all up to preference, or just grab a round "cake" mold and just put the base down, and the cream on top, or vice versa as you prefer again.
- Then refrigerate or freeze it depending on what you plan to do with it!
Don't forget to always soak the nuts/seeds before using them! Look up specific soaking times as each ingredient may vary, though I usually prefer to "over soak" them than not at all!
This first try I decided to use walnuts for the base, and cashews for the cream.
I soaked the walnuts for almost an entire day, and the cashews for only about 4 hours.
Starting with the base, I added WILD HARVESTED DRIED FIGS instead of dates that a friend gifted me from the west coast.
What I like to do when using dry fruits is to moisten them by soaking them in water for about 10-30 minutes before using them. Also figs usually have a very hard part from where the fruit is connected to the stem/branch, and it's good to take that off if you are going to use figs. Soaking it makes that part also easier in the figs case.
I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to my base in this batch.
After the base was processed finely enough I put it into the freezer for the short time being.
Once the cashews were soaked enough since I soaked them later and less because they don't need as much soaking as the walnuts, I gathered up the ingredients for the cream!
For the cream I added coconut oil, lemon juice, blueberries, water and the tiniest bit of agave this time, only because I didn't have any coconut milk or cream at the time...
Once the base and the cream are ready, get the ingredients together and the molds out, whether you want to use cupcake containers or some other awesome fun shape you might have available to play with!
I used halloween spider cupcake molds! :)
Since I was doing the "upside down method" and had fresh organic fruits available I added freshly cut strawberries, fresh blueberries, and fresh raspberries inside of the cupcake molds as the first step!
Then I filled them all up with the delicious blue berry cheese cream!!!!
Then topped them off with the walnut fig base!!!! <3
Then the final step in my recipe is to freeze them! Though if they were all to be eaten sooner than later, you could just refrigerate them instead! We froze 2 full gallon bags of these beautiful cheesecake cupcake spiders! 💖💖
This first batch potentially came out WAY more delicious than the second batch simply because of the added bonus freshly frozen fruits added on top! 😍
Even though there were a few other modifications, that was the main game changer, as it really made a significant difference in the taste and texture with every bite!
I actually preferred them freshly unfrozen too since it's quite hot in Florida, hehe.
SO GOOD!!!!!!! 😍

Oh so pretty!!! The blueberry makes the cream a lovely color, and the spider cupcake molds are a funny touch :)
I'm going to encourage @truelovelives to play with this recipe.

Hahahah yeah I asked my mom for silicon cupcake molds and that's just how it flowed!
I made like 30 more yesterday along with a bigger cheesecake cake yesterday too!
💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚
This recipe is SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!! Definitely convince @truelovelives to get on it, she'll LOVE IT!!!! And so will everyone else!! It's WAY BETTER than "normal" cheesecake! hahah :)
Though it is a lot more efficient/easier to make an actual cheesecake instead of cheesecake cupcakes hahah, but I think the cheesecake cupcakes preserve longer as a snack than the cake as a dessert!
OMG looks so good!
They were SOOOO GOOOD!! 💖💖
I'm already excited for making them for a third time in not even a month!! xD
With FRESH coconut milk I'm gonna make today/tomorrow! 💖💖
These look so amazing! :D
💖💖 Hahaha Daniela got my culinary confidence boosted xD
This first batch came out especially aesthetic with the fruits on top hahah
She's good at that! haha :)
I love cooking for ALL of you! I love us!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
She's PRO at that!! ;P Hahaha
I don't have an oven at home so I think i'm gonna try out more raw deserts. Thank u for this!
Great solution!! No need for an oven when you can make such delicious raw desserts without it! :)
All you need is a fridge/freezer for this one and tons of other raw desserts! <3
Have you tried making Nice Cream before??
Lol you know I turn off my fridge freezer in the winter (doing my bit for sustainability everyday ;) ), but in the summer months, i give it a try :)
Aha I just remembered you told me a couple weeks ago! Hehe, though that's great to hear again! :)
What temperatures does it get to in the winter over there?? O: Maybe you can use the outside as your freezer(?) haha!
Or if you have friends that don't turn their fridges/freezers off even in the winter then you could borrow/share theirs for a night too! ;)
You just get better over time! Can't wait to share my new recipes with you a live \o/ Loving you brother!
Way better in every way every day!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Excited to see what new creations you've been coming up with from all your adventures!!!
Much LOVE siSTAR! 💖💖💖💖
