Mini Cherry Cheesecake
Ready for cherry season with these plant-based Mini Cherry Cheesecakes!
Cherry season is the best – not only are cherries bursting with antioxidants but they are packed with fibre, vitamin A, potassium, calcium and folic acid.
We’ve worked in our Chocolate with Raw Cacao Granola into the top layer of this recipe adding a superfood crunch. These mini cheesecakes are a delicious treat with no refined sugar and sweetened with maple syrup. Quick Tip – get organic frozen pitted cherries for extra ease in the kitchen, otherwise a cherry pitter can speed up the prep! 👌
