Love chocolate cheesecake? Try our no-bake mini vegan cheesecakes.
We love cheesecake but as we all know it's not the healthiest of things to eat but we don't like to sacrifice the taste either. That's why we decided to try out a no-bake mini vegan cheesecake, chocolate flavor of course. While you can do this in almost any flavor chocolate cheesecake is one of our absolute favorites. You'll be surprised at how delicious these taste and yes they taste like a rich cheesecake!
It is a bit more work to make these mini vegan cheesecakes compared to regular cheesecakes because you have to soak the cashews. It's not a ton of time more and I promise it's totally worth any wait. Top the delicious little chocolate mini vegan cheesecakes with your favorite fresh fruit and it's a dessert everyone will love.
I love that this mini vegan cheesecake recipe is also no-bake because that means we can make this recipe any time of the year. Trust me after you've tried them you and your family will want to make more. These are great for parties, celebrations or any time you want a fix of chocolate cheesecake without all of the guilt.
Now let's get on to this recipe shall we?

No-Bake Vegan Cheesecake Recipe
We love cheesecake but as we all know it's not the healthiest of things to eat but we don't like to sacrifice the taste either. That's why we decided to try out a no-bake mini vegan cheesecake, chocolate flavor of course.
Prep Time1 hour 15 minutes
Cook Time4 hours 15 minutes
Total Time5 hours 30 minutes
Ingredients
Oreo Crust:
- 2 cups crushed oreos (just the cookie portion not the filling) - or other chocolate wafer cookie of your choice.
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
- ½ cup coconut cream
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 cup roasted unsalted cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Cashews
- First, boil 2 cups of water. Place cashews in a mason jar and pour boiling water over nuts until they are completely covered. Let soak for 1 hour.
Make the Crust
- Grease a mini cheesecake pan, then set aside.
- Mix melted coconut oil and cookie crumbs together until well combined.
- Drop 1 tablespoon scoops of the crust into each well of the mini cheesecake pan and press the crumbs evenly around the bottom of the well.
- Repeat with each well until all the cookie mixture has been used.
- Put the mini cheesecake pan in the freezer for the crusts to harden.
Make the Filling
- Drain the cashews.
- Put all the ingredients in the order listed into a high-powered blender.
- Turn blender on low, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until all ingredients are combined and mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Putting it together
- Remove pan from the freezer, making sure crusts are hardened, then add 2 tablespoons of the chocolate filling to each well. Smooth with the back of a spoon and tap the pan against a hard surface to release the air out of each well.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Enjoy with fresh berries.
Notes
Remember the 1 hour 15 minutes prep time includes soaking the cashews so it's not a lot work, just some waiting.
It's not a lot of work, the most time spent is first waiting for the cashews to soak and then for the mini vegan cheesecakes to chill. The actual amount of time spent making this delicious chocolate mini vegan cheesecake is minimal but still worth every minute. Just look at how yummy these chocolate vegan cheesecakes look. Smooth and creamy and the taste will have you wanting more.

In my family we would use baby sywstick crackers for the crust but Nabisco changed their recipe and the new ones just don't work. These mini cheesecake crusts sound delicious so I'm really thinking about making them with the no bake filling. Who knows, maybe it will work for the cooked filling I do.
