Press a small amount into the bottom of each cupcake liners.
To make the cheesecake filling place the rinsed cashews in a high powered blender* along with water, maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and, frozen strawberries.

When you are ready to serve remove from freezer 15-20 minutes prior to eating to thaw a little.
Top with some fresh strawberry slices and enjoy!
Notes
*You can also use a food processor but the cashews won’t get as creamy-it’s still delicious but just be forewarned.
