Dairy Free Cheesecakes
Recently I shared my dairy free orange truffles and now I bring you these tasty mini strawberry cheesecakes.
They are actually very similar in recipe to the orange truffles so if you’ve made those these will be a breeze!
I love trying new recipes and when I saw a recipe for a paleo cheesecake I was fascinated! I thought it would be great to make them individual sized and with strawberries- they turned out delicious!
I typically don’t eat paleo- but I do love trying new recipes and some happen to fit that category. I’ve shared my paleo pancakes, easy kale chips, paleo meatballs, almond milk, and even some healthy smoothies that all are considered “paleo” even though they are simply delicious!
This time around I wanted to try to make a cheesecake without cream cheese or any other dairy. Seemed crazy but I figured why not!
So here I give you my mini dairy free cheesecakes. They are perfect for snacking or taking to a potluck.
How to make dairy free cheesecakes:
- Soak the cashews overnight, then drain and rinse them.
- Make the crust via a food processor (LOVE my Breville processor!) and then press into the bottoms of cupcake liners.
- Make the filing using a high-powered blender (LOVE my Breville SuperQ!)
- Pour filling into each liner and then freeze for 3 hours.
- When you are ready to serve them allow them to thaw for about 15 minutes. I like to slice some strawberries and place them on top for a little extra garnish.
- Enjoy!
What if I don’t have a high-powered blender?
If you don’t have a SuperQ, Vitamix, or a Ninja, you can use a food processor. A blender will make the filling smoother but I have made the filing with my food processor and they still turned out amazing.
A regular blender probably won’t work well though.
Are you a cheesecake fan? Have you ever had dairy free cheesecake?
I love to make a batch of these and then keep them in the freezer. I’ll pull one out every time I need a quick dessert!

Recipe Notes
*You can also use a food processor but the cashews won’t get as creamy-it’s still delicious but just be forewarned.
