No Bake Cheesecake Cup Recipe
- First, mix almond meal, maple syrup, and cashew butter together with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Firmly press this crumble into the bottom of a small jar or serving cup, setting aside about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for later use as a topping.
- Combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Use an immersion blender to smooth this mixture until it’s creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, a standard blender or food processor will work just as well.
- Pour this creamy filling over the prepared crumb crust in your jar or cup.
- Decorate with peaches or your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, and sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture on top for added texture.
While these no-bake cheesecake cups can be enjoyed right away, they taste even better after chilling in the refrigerator for several hours, although this step is optional.
