How to Prepare Raw Vanilla Key Lime Cheesecakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Blend crust ingredients until crumble consistency and press down in muffin tray. If you'd like, use a tiny bit of coconut oil in the bottom to make sure they won't stick. Then, fill 1/4 of each hole and leave in freezer while making the filling.
Blend all the cheesecake ingredients in a blender. Add a little more almond milk if needed until the consistency is really creamy and smooth. If you need more sweetness, you can add a few stevia drops to taste.
Spread the mixture on each crust and freeze for at least 7 hours.
Remove from freezer and splash a bit of hot water on the back of the muffin tray to make it easier to remove the cheesecakes. Top with lime slices, coconut, cashews, or any other favorite topping you have. Let defrost before serving.
