Passover golden milk cashew cheesecake bites. Vegan, refined sugar and gluten free and perfect for Passover.
So, this is the current situation at my house: my recently married daughter and her husband are home for Passover, and they've been on a refined-sugar-detox for a few weeks. My 16 year old son decided a few weeks ago that he wants to get "in shape", so he started a pretty strict diet / workout program. And being the stubborn / very determined young man that he is, he barely allows himself to cheat. My husband, who HAS TO keep up with my son, is pretty much doing the same (he's not as good at the no cheating part, but he's really trying!). BUT, they still all want to have some kind of dessert, especially for the Holiday.
You know what that means? Let me tell you. I have to come up with recipes that are kosher for Passover AND are not sweetened with any refined sugar (i.e mainly fruit, dates and occasionally maple syrup). And by "I" I mean my sister of course (I'm the photographer, not the mad scientist, that's her job).
So... here's her first creation: a golden milk cashew "cheesecake", that we are serving in small individual portions, because, really, after sitting at the Seder table for hours and finishing dinner close to midnight, no one needs anything huge, or heavy!
This spice filed dessert is sweetened with a tablespoon of maple syrup and dates. It's vegan and gluten free, very easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time. And best of all (for me anyway), my family approves...
Enjoy!

Yum. I wish we had all those nuts for Pesach. Our range is so limited. But, I will certainly make it for a Friday night dessert after the chag. Thank you for the delightful recipes you share with us

Thank you for the love Renee! The crust can actually be made with any nuts you have in hand. The cream does need cashews though... Hope you enjoy it when you can make it!
Raquel

If I put these in individual cups or glasses, how many servings does this recipe make?
Vicky & Ruth
Hi Barbara,
The recipe yields approximately 8 servings, depending on the size of the cup. Just take into consideration that it's pretty rich, and a little bit goes a long way! 🙂
Hope this helps.
