Ingredients

Crust

Filling

Topping

  • 3/4 - 1 cup your favorite fruity jam or preserves depending on how sweet and fruity you want them! I used 1 cup!

Instructions

  • Prepare the filling first. After the cashews have finished soaking, rinse them in cold water and drain. Set aside. Line an 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside as well.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the pistachio flour with the coconut oil. Pulse until combined. Add the rest of the crust ingredients and pulse a few more times. *If you are not using pistachio flour, pulse the walnuts with the dates first. Then, add the rest of the ingredients. Pulse for about 30 seconds until everything is well combined.*
  • Transfer the mixture into the parchment lined baking pan. Use an offset spatula or some warm water and your fingers to evenly press it across the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  • Rinse and dry the bowl of the food processor. Add all of the filling ingredients and pulse for 45 seconds to 1 minute until everything is smooth and creamy. Pour the filling into the crust. Place in the freezer to set for about 30 minutes.
  • Once the filling has slightly set, add the jam. Evenly spread it over the top and place the cheesecake back into the freezer to set for another 3-4 hours. After it has set, carefully remove them and cut them into slices. Enjoy after they've sit out for about 10 minutes to defrost!

Notes

Be sure to bring all of your filling ingredients to room temperature before you begin. Otherwise, your filling will not be smooth!
