Vegan Homemade Cherry Cheesecake Jars

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (or homemade cherry compote)
  • Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the vegan graham cracker crumbs and melted vegan butter until well combined.
  2. Divide the crumb mixture evenly among four small jars or glasses, pressing it down firmly to form the crust layer.
  3. In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  4. Spoon the cashew cheesecake mixture over the crust layer in each jar, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Top each jar with a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling or homemade cherry compote.
  6. If desired, garnish each jar with fresh cherries.
  7. Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful vegan cherry cheesecake jars!
