Ingredients
  

Crust ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cup dates roughly chopped
  • 1 3/4 cup Granola chocolate

Filling ingredients:

  • 1 cup cashew soaked overnight
  • 1 cup coconut cream vegan
  • 8 oz cream cheese vegan
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • salt pinch
  • 1 1/2 tsp nutmeg ground
  • 1/2 tsp ginger ground
  • turmeric pinch, for coloring
  • 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar coconut sugar would work as well

Instructions
 

Make and bake the crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a muffin tin with silicone muffin cups or spray with an oil spray.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the dates and chocolate granola until they form a rough crumble.
  • Scoop the crumble crust into each muffin tin and gently press using your fingers.
  • Bake the crusts for 5 minutes; remove them from the heat and set aside.

Prepare the filling:

  • In a food processor, pulse together the cashews, coconut cream, cream cheese, baking powder, coconut oil, spices, kosher salt, and confectioners' sugar.
  • Pour them equally into each muffin tin and bake them for 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

  • Serve with vegan whipped coconut cream and a cup of coffee. Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:

For an even simpler dessert, use phyllo dough instead of the granola crust. Simply cut the dough into squares and place into the muffin tin cups. Pre-bake to ensure a crisp crust, then add filling and proceed as above.
Swerve confectioners sugar makes a great sugar-free option.
For a more festive topping, add diced fruit or a fruit compote!
