Mini Matcha Cheesecakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
Serves
4
Ingredients
Base:
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup dates
- 1/3 cup puffed amaranth or quinoa
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (use only the hard, creamy part)
- 2 tablespoons agave
- 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder
- Vegan dark chocolate
- Pistachios
Preparation
- Soak the cashews for 4-6 hours.
-
Place the almonds into a food processor and blend until they are nicely crushed. Then add the dates and the puffed amaranth and blend again until a sticky mixture forms. Press it into six silicone muffin cups and put in the freezer until you're done with the cheesecake layer.
-
Then make the cheesecake layer: drain the cashews and put them together with the coconut milk and agave in a food processor and blend until it becomes creamy and smooth. Then add the matcha and blend for another minute.
-
Pour it evenly on the base layer and freeze for about 4-6 hours. Allow the mini cheesecakes to warm up for about 30 minutes before serving.
