kcalIngredients
For the crust:
4 tablespoons coconut oil
3-4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 cups oats
For the filling:
8 ounces of cream cheese
1/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A small squeeze of lemon
Directions
- Prep the Filling: Combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a small squeeze of lemon in a bowl. Mix well until completely smooth, then set aside while you make the base.
- Make the Crust: Grind the oats into a flour (or to whatever consistency you prefer).
- Form the Dough: Add the coconut oil to the oat flour and work into a crumble with your fingers. Add the honey and the water to form a crumbly dough.
- Press into Tins: Line a cupcake tin with baking paper and add the dough, pressing it firmly into the base of the tin to form your crusts.
- Bake: Bake for between 15 and 20 minutes at 200°C (180°C if using a fan oven) until golden brown.
- Assemble: Once cooked, allow the oat bases to cool completely before adding the creamy filling to your now crunchy base.
- Chill: Allow the mini cheesecakes to set in the fridge before serving.
Notes
- Serving Suggestion: Why not add your favorite fresh fruit (like sliced strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) to the top of the mini cheesecakes for an extra burst of flavor?
- The “No-Bake” Title: While the filling requires no baking, please note that the oat crust does need to go into the oven for 15-20 minutes to achieve its perfect crunchy texture!
