I’ve been living in Florida with my family for the past month, just trying to relax and take care of myself. Lots of time by the pool, eating wholesome food with my mom and husband every day, and indulging in sweets sometimes. I think taking care of yourself can include a little indulgence, and these mini strawberry cheesecakes are a perfect little healthy treat for any time of the day.

Miniature Strawberry Cheesecakes

These luscious lemon cheesecakes have a secret ingredient that makes them super creamy, yet still dairy free: Raw cashews. When soaked and blended they take on super creamy consistency that makes them the perfect dessert. Topped with fresh strawberries, they are simply amazing! Note: You must use RAW cashews for this recipe. They are pale white with no salt added.
