Raw Cheesecake

Rebecca and I were browsing recipes this week.  We came across these mini st(raw)berry cheesecakes from Lexie's Kitchen.  A simple recipe that looked perfect for a Valentine's Day treat.

So we tried them.  They are wonderful!!  A big hit with the whole family.  And they really are super easy to make.  No baking required.
 
I substituted almonds for the other nuts since that's what I had on hand.  They still turned out very well.

Since they were so good I decided to try making a modified version that I can eat.  So I came up with a nut free blueberry cheesecake.  Equally as delicious!!

Here are both recipes.  Mix and match fruits and crusts.  A perfect little treat that is quite healthy.

  1. These look great! Very similar to the raw strawberry pie I make. I should pull that recipe up from my blog and make it one day again soon. I usually only make it in the summer, but it's been 2 years since I have made it as I didn't make it this past summer. Now I'm hungry for it. :)
