~ My Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes ~
















My family really liked these, but they did not stay solid after being out of the freezer. They are rich, creamy and so delicious. Most Raw Cheesecakes use a nut(cashews) base instead of dairy and these nuts are pre-soaked which makes them alive nuts. Cashews are great for making desserts and also salad dressings.

My family likes to eat sugar like most do, so I have been working on healthier alternatives. I live eating mostly green, but I also indulge in a raw desserts as well.



I loved the color of these small cheesecakes. They are so rich I can only eat a few bites. For some people mixing nuts and fruit together can be a disastrous combination. Nuts, fruits and sugar together just aren't the best idea if you are dealing with health issues. If you are in good health enjoying a little cheesecake can be fun.

2 cups almonds
1/2 cup dates
pinch of sea salt
