How To Make No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter & Jelly Cheesecakes 

Let’s start with the cashews they must be soaked. I can not emphasize soaking the cashews enough, if you do not the flavor will be quite off tasting. I like to soak them overnight however you can flash soak them. 

How To Flash Soak Cashews

1. Place cashews in a small pot and cover with water. 
2. Bring water to boil. Cover and remove from heat.
3. Soak cashews for 15-20 minutes. Drain, and your good to go!

Okay so now that we have established how important it is to soak your nuts lets move on, haha!

1. If you are not using a silicone mini cake mold, oil and line a muffin tin with parchment cups.
2. To make the crust, place all ingredients in a food processor, and process until crumbs and starting to hold together. If curst doesn’t hold together when squeezed add a few teaspoons of water and blend.
3. Press a spoonful into the bottom of your cake slots. 
4. To make the filling, combine everything but the berries, beet powder (optional) and peanut butter. Blend in a high-speed blender till smooth.
5. Divide into 2 bowls.
6. Add one back into the blender with the peanut butter, blend till combined and pour back in the bowl. 
7. Add the other bowl of filling to the blender (no need to rinse) with the berries and beet powder (optional). Blend till combined and smooth. 
8. Drop a spoon full of each filling over your prepared crust. Repeat till cake slots are full. 
9. Place the cheesecakes in the freezer for 4hours, or until they set.
10. Remove from the freezer, un-mold and
11. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over tops of cheesecakes, because cakes are cols the chocolate will harden quickly.
12. Store leftovers in the freezer.
