Ingredients needed (with substitutions)
Oreos – For the most bright and summery flavor, I use lemon Oreos. However, you can feel free to use any Oreo you’d like or another Oreo type cookie.Vegan Cream Cheese – You can use store bought, or make my super easy 5 Minute Vegan Cream Cheese. Coconut Cream – Feel free to swap this out for vegan yogurt if preferred. Sugar – Granulated sugar is what lends the sweetness here. It can be substituted with coconut sugar if needed. Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice is what you’ll need.Vanilla Extract – For the best flavor, use pure vanilla extract, not imitation. Coconut Oil – Make sure it’s refined for no coconut flavor. Seedless Raspberry Jam – You can replace it with fresh fruit, Oreo crumbs, lemon curd, or even chocolate ganache.
How to make no bake mini cheesecakes
Find the complete printable recipe with measurements below in the recipe card. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners and place an Oreo cookie in the bottom of each cup. Mix the cream cheese, coconut cream or yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a bowl with a mixer. Add the coconut oil and mix until well incorporated. Place about 3 tablespoons of the filling on top of each cookie crust and spread it evenly with a spoon. Warm the jam and stir until smooth, then place a teaspoon on top of each cheesecake. Swirl it in with a toothpick. Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until firm. I also like to store them in the freezer, they are an incredible treat to keep around when a craving strikes!
