Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 8 ounce package full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 5.4 ounce can unsweetened coconut cream, chilled
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ripe mango (flesh scooped out)
Crust
- 40 grams (½ cup) almond flour
- 85 grams soft pitted dates
- 50 grams (½ cup) old fashioned oats
- 1 ½ tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Chill the coconut cream: Place the can of coconut cream in the refrigerator to chill so that the cream separates from the liquid. Once cold, carefully open one side of the can and scoop out only the thick coconut cream from the top, leaving the water behind.
- Make the filling: Put the softened cream cheese and the chilled coconut cream into a food processor and process for 20 seconds until combined. Add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste, and sea salt, then process again until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Prepare the crust: In a clean food processor, pulse the almond flour and pitted dates about 20 times to combine. Add the oats, melted coconut oil, and sea salt, then continue pulsing and processing until the mixture starts to stick together.
- Assemble the bites: Press about one tablespoon of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each of nine muffin liners. If the crust mixture sticks to your fingers, wet them lightly to make pressing easier. Divide the filling evenly among the muffin cups, spreading it over the crust.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake bites for at least four hours to allow them to firm up and set properly.
- Add mango topping: Before serving, puree the mango flesh until smooth, then spoon a small amount of the mango puree on top of each cheesecake bite. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to chill the coconut cream well to ensure a thick cream is scooped from the top, avoiding the watery bottom.
- You can lightly wet your fingers or a spoon when pressing the crust mixture to prevent sticking.
- For best texture, allow the cheesecake bites to chill for at least four hours, ideally overnight.
- Use ripe mango for a sweet, flavorful topping, adjusting the amount to taste.
- Store the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
