Mini Vegan Blackberry Cheesecake
Vegan Cheesecake is made without Cream Cheese. Rather Soaked Cashew Nuts and Coconut Cream is used as a replacement for Cream Cheese for Vegan Cheesecake recipes.
The soaked Cashew Nuts are naturally creamy and when you combine that with Coconut Cream, you get a cheesecake-like mixture that freezes easily. Hence it's perfect for No-Bake Cheesecake recipes.
Apart from these two ingredients I have also used Coconut Oil. Also to sweeten the "cheesecake" mixture I have used Pure Maple Syrup and Pure Vanilla Extract to flavor it.
Coconut Oil works like a magic. Not only dies it help to blend the ingredients to perfections but it also freezes really well. Also, Coconut Oil in the "Cheesecake" filling does not allow this No-Bake Vegan Blackberry Cheesecake to melt easily.

Tips to make the perfect No-Bake Vegan Mini Blackberry Cheesecakes
- You can line a muffin tin with cupcake liners
- Or if you do not like the marks of a liner, then use a thin strap of Parchment with edges hanging out, as I use. This makes it easier to pick out the frozen Mini Cheesecakes and you get perfect layers without any lines.
- Remember to freeze each layer. It is very important that you freeze the crust for at least 15-30 minutes before you pour the Cheesecake filling. Otherwise, the Creamy filling will drip to the bottom and your Crust won't be perfect.
- Also, after you've poured the Creamy "Cheesecake" Layer, allow it to set in the freezer for at least an hour.
- Do not open the freezer frequently to check on the doneness of the Cheesecake. I know you will feel tempted to do so because it's so obvious that something so delicious is in it, However, doing so will not freeze the Cheesecakes perfectly. The hot air from outside will come in the way of Freezing these Cheesecakes.
- After the Cheesecake layer gets frozen, then pour the Blackberry Layer over it. Even it out with a spoon or an offset spatula.
- It is important to freeze these Mini Vegan Blackberry Cheesecakes for at least 3 hours in total. Not doing so will not get you the perfect cheesecake.
