Healthy Vanilla Cheesecake Cups

Healthy No-Bake Vanilla Cheesecake Cups are easy to make and bursting with flavor, using good-for-you ingredients. The perfect portion-controlled treat!

I know, I know – the title is a mouthful. I wasn’t sure how else to convey all of the goodness that’s packed in these little wonders. Decadent, sweetened cream cheese meets a pecan, oat, and date “crust.”

I love that you don’t have to use your oven, and they are just the right size to satisfy a sweet tooth without over indulging. Creamy, slightly tart, perfectly sweet, and 100% irresistible. Better than real cheesecake and the perfect healthy, simple dessert to feed a crowd (or just you).

A cross between a cupcake and cheesecake and they make a delicious handheld, two bite, sweet treat for parties, brunch, pot lucks, family gatherings or as an afternoon snack!

They are as cute as they are delicious. Individual little cheesecakes made in a muffin tin with a classic nutty base and a rich, creamy and silky, cream cheese and yogurt filling topped with fruit or jam.

Great for a special occasion, these delicious little bites are both simple to make and areal crowd pleaser. They are sure to be a hit and you will be asked for the recipe.
