Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional Toppings:

  • sliced strawberries
  • raspberries
  • pineapple
  • chocolate curls
  • lemon or lime zest
  • candied lemon peel

Instructions

  • To make the crust, add the dates, cashews, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and process until a loose ball forms. If your dates were a little dry, you might need to add a tablespoon or so of warm water and then process again until the mixture starts to come together.
  • Add about a tablespoon of the crust to 6 glasses/mason jars/containers (about 1 cup in size) and use a spoon to press it into the bottom of the jar.

To make the cheesecake:

  • Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth (about 1 minute).
  • Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly into the 6 jars. Use a spoon to smooth out the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with your choice of toppings (like berries or other fruit).

Notes

  • If your dates were a little dry, you might need to add a tablespoon or so of warm water and then process again until the mixture starts to come together.
  • I use plain Greek yogurt for this cheesecake but, you can use a different flavor of Greek yogurt if you want to change the flavor of your cheesecake!
  • If you are using another flavor of Greek yogurt then you can omit the vanilla extract.
  • Be sure to allow at least 2 hours for the cheesecake to set in the fridge before serving.
  • If you don’t have cashews then you can use pecans instead.
