FROZEN LIME CHEESECAKE BITES image

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 all natural graham crackers, broken into pieces
3 T melted coconut oil
2 c raw cashews, soaked in hot water to cover for at least 4 hours or overnight and drained
1/2 c unsweetened coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1/2 c fresh lime juice
1/3 c light colored honey or maple syrup
3 T virgin coconut oil, melted
2 T grated lime zest

Steps:

Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil so that it extends up the sides and over the edges. Spray with cooking spray. Crust: In a food processor, process the crackers into fine crumbles. Add the melted coconut oil and process again to combine. Pour the crumbs into the prepared pan and press down very firmly with your hands or a sheet of wax paper. Filling: Combine the cashews, coconut milk, lime juice, honey and coconut oil in a food processor and process until very smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed. This will take about 5 minutes. Add the lime zest and pulse to combine it well. Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Place the pan in the freezer and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Lift the cheesecake from the pan using the foil and place on cutting board. Slide the foil out and cut the cheesecake into squares and put back into the freezer. Remove 30 minutes prior to serving and eat while still partially frozen.
