CHEESECAKE MINIS

This is a simpler and quicker version of a regular cashew cheesecake, perfect to impress guests or just to satisfy your sweet tooth. You don’t have to be a culinary expert to create this delicious dessert and presented with finesse. Not to mention, it is totally guilt free, highly nutritious and satisfying. However, if you up to it, you can make a regular raw, cheesecake by following instruction of one of my cheesecakes recipes on my blog, or you can use those recipes and make cheesecake minis. Have fun and be creative.
