Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Topping

  • 12 oz raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 Tbsp tapioca starch (or cornstarch)
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or maple sugar)

Crumb Crust

  • 3/4 cup walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 Tbsp refined coconut oil (melted)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 2 cups raw cashews (soaked for 2 hours, then drained)
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil (solid)
  • 1 cup chilled coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Make Raspberry Topping

Dissolve tapioca starch in water. Cook raspberries, coconut sugar, and the starch mixture over medium heat for 7–8 minutes, stirring until thickened. Cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare Crumb Crust

Pulse walnuts, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until crumbly. Mix in melted coconut oil. Divide evenly among jars (1.5–2 tbsp per jar) and press down to form a base.

Step 3: Blend Cheesecake Layer

Blend soaked cashews, coconut oil, chilled coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a high-speed blender until creamy. Chill for 1 hour to thicken.

Step 4: Assemble the Jars

Layer the crumb crust, cheesecake filling (about 1/4 cup), and raspberry topping in jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For Perfect Layers: Let each layer chill briefly before adding the next. It helps the dessert hold its structure.
  • Soaking Cashews: Don’t skip this step! Soaking softens the cashews, ensuring a velvety-smooth texture for the filling.
  • Presentation Hack: Use a piping bag for the filling—it keeps the layers neat and clean, especially if you’re serving these jars for a party.

Serving & Storage

Serve your No-Bake Cheesecake Jars straight from the refrigerator. Pair them with dessert spoons and garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for an elegant touch. These jars will keep in the fridge for up to five days when tightly sealed. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the creamy texture of the cheesecake layer.
