Instructions
 

CRUST INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place oats, almonds and graham wafer crumbs into a food processor and pulse to combine. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to come together. The crust should pinch in between your fingers.
  • Line a muffin tin with silicone cupcake holders and firmly press a heaping tbsp into the bottom of each cup.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool.

FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place all the filling ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  • Scrape down sides as needed. Pour mixture over the crusts and fill up 3/4 of the way to the top. There should still be 1/2-3/4c of the cheese cake filling left over.
  • Tap to release any air bubbles and place in the freezer for 25 minutes.
  • Make the topping.

TOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

  • In the same blender add the topping ingredients.
  • Blend on high, scrape down the sides and blend again.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

  • After 25 minutes the middle layer should be soft and pliable but not runny. If it is too liquidy, place it back in the freezer.
  • Use a spoon to scoop the strawberry topping into the middle of the cheesecake layer.
  • Use a toothpick to swirl and make designs.
  • Place back in the freezer to firm up for 3-4 hours.
  • Once set, remove the silicone cup and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Slice up some strawberries and fresh mint to place on top of each cup.
  • Leftovers keep well in the freezer without the fresh strawberries.
