When I first discovered how to make vegan cheesecake with cashews and coconut cream, I was FLOORED by how it tastes so much like actual cheesecake.
My family still can’t believe there’s no dairy in the cheesecakes I make whenever I come up with a new recipe. Cashew cheesecake is completely legit!
And today, we’re making it super fun in these cute little single serve cheesecake jars. They’re layered with a faux graham cracker crust, a sweet creamy vanilla cheesecake filling, and an easy homemade raspberry topping.
Since we’re making them in jars, they’re perfect to prepare ahead of time and store in the fridge for whenever you want a treat!
What You Need to Make Vegan Cheesecake Jars
I separated the ingredients for the three layers so the recipe is easy to follow. Here’s everything you’ll need to make the cheesecake jars:
Raspberry Topping:
raspberries, fresh or frozentapioca starchwatercoconut sugar or maple sugar
Crumb Crust:
walnuts or pecansblanched almond flourcoconut sugar or maple sugar cinnamonfine sea saltrefined coconut oil, melted
Cheesecake Layer:
raw cashewsrefined coconut oil, solidcoconut cream, chilledpure maple syrupfresh lemon juicepure vanilla extractfine sea salt
How to Make Paleo + Vegan No Bake Cheesecake Jars
Begin with the raspberry sauce. This can be prepared a day in advance of making the cheesecake jars. Whisk the tapioca and water together until dissolved. Place the raspberries, sugar, and tapioca mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the mixture as it cooks. Bring it to a simmer and allow to simmer for 7-8 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool – it will thicken as it cools. You can chill it in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up the cooling time.
For the crumb crust, pulse the nuts, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small food processor a few times to form “graham cracker crumbs”. Stir in the coconut oil to form a mixture that resembles an unbaked crumb topping.
Next it the cheesecake layer. Place all ingredients in a high speed blender (I used a Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy. This will take anywhere from 1-4 minutes depending on your blender. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour to thicken.
Once the sauce and cheesecake layer have chilled, it’s time to assemble the jars.
I used 8 6 oz jars but you can use 4 oz for more reasonable servings. Just adjust the measurements a bit so everything fits well.
Spoon about 1 1/2 – 2 Tbsp of the crumbs into the bottom of each jar. Follow with about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake layer, then top with as much of the raspberry sauce as you’d like.
How to Store No Bake Cheesecake Jars
You can serve the cheesecake right away, but it’s also perfect to store for later since they’re already in jars!
Cover each jar with a fitted lid, and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve or for up to about 5-7 days maximum.
The cheesecake layer will thicken more when it’s chilled in the fridge, resulting in a super creamy thick cheesecake experience! These are just TOO good my friends!

Instructions
Raspberry Topping {Sauce}:
Begin with the raspberry sauce. This can be prepared a day in advance of making the cheesecake jars. Whisk the tapioca and water together until dissolved. Place the raspberries, sugar, and tapioca mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat.Stir the mixture as it cooks. Bring it to a simmer and allow to simmer for 7-8 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool – it will thicken as it cools. You can chill it in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up the cooling time.
Crumb Crust:
In a small food processor, pulse the nuts, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt a few time to form “graham cracker crumbs”. Stir in the coconut oil to form a mixture that resembles an unbaked crumb topping.
Cheesecake Layer:
Place all ingredients in a high speed blender (I used a Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy. This will take anywhere from 1-4 minutes depending on your blender. Scrape down the sides and continue to blend to make sure all the cashews are blended into the mixture. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour to thicken.
Assemble the Jars:
Once the sauce and cheesecake layer have chilled, it’s time to assemble the jars.
I used 8 6 oz jars* but you can use a different size, just adjust the measurements a bit to fit.
Spoon about 1 1/2 – 2 Tbsp of the crumbs into the bottom of each jar. Follow with about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake layer, then top with as much of the raspberry sauce as you’d like – you’ll have some leftover most likely.
You can either serve these right away, or cover the jars with fitted lids and refrigerate for up to about 5 days. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*I used 6 oz jars for the photos which makes 8 very large servings. You can use 4 oz jars to make about 12 servings.
