Description

A refreshing and healthy no-bake lemon cheesecake in individual cups, combining a crunchy oat and pecan base with a light lemon-flavored cream cheese filling. Perfect for a guilt-free dessert that requires minimal preparation and no oven.

Ingredients

Base

  • 1/2 cup instant oats
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1 tbsp honey

Filling

  • 16 oz full fat plain cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup erythritol
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 cup whipping cream (minimum 35% fat), chilled

Decoration

  • 5 slices of lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Blend the instant oats, pecans, and honey together in a food processor until you achieve a semi-fine mixture. Divide this mixture evenly into 5 individual cups and set aside.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk the room temperature cream cheese and erythritol together using a handheld whisk until the mixture is fluffy. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing thoroughly to combine. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whisk the chilled whipping cream with a handheld whisk until stiff peaks form. This will add lightness and volume to your cheesecake filling.
  4. Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, ensuring everything is well incorporated without losing airiness. Set aside the combined filling.
  5. Assemble the cups: Place one lemon slice against the inner wall of each prepared cup with the base. Spoon the lemon cheesecake filling into each cup, roughly smoothing the top with the back of a spoon for a neat finish.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cups in the coldest part of your fridge for 4 hours to allow them to set properly and develop flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Whipping cream must be chilled to achieve stiff peaks successfully.
  • You can substitute erythritol with your preferred sweetener if desired.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the pecans before blending.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
