The Better No-Bake Chocolate Cherry Protein Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the crusts:
- 12 graham crackers
- ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons melted unrefined coconut oil
For the cheesecake fillings:
- 1 3/4 cups raw cashew pieces soaked for 2 hours, rinsed and drained
- 1 bottle 12 ounces REBBL Dark Chocolate Protein
- 3/4 cup frozen cherries
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
- ¼ cup melted unrefined coconut oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
For topping:
- coconut whipped cream store-bought or homemade*
- 1/3 cup cacao nibs
- 18 fresh cherries
Instructions
- To make the crusts, add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add in the melted coconut oil and pulse a few more times to combine.
- Line muffin tins with 18 cupcake liners. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of crust mixture to each. Use a small glass to tightly pack it down into an even, flat layer. Repeat for the other tins. Set aside while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a high-speed blender. Process for 1-3 minutes, or until the texture is very smooth. Pour the filling evenly over the crusts (there should be about ¼ inch of the cupcake liners showing at the top). Freeze until firm, approximately 2 hours.
- For best and creamiest texture: Allow the cheesecakes to soften slightly (about 10-15 minutes) before serving. Top each with coconut whipped cream, a sprinkle of cacao nibs, and a fresh cherry.
