Mini cheesecake with pineapple and maple syrup
Cashews soaked instead of cheese
Vegan cookie base blended with vegetable butter, pressed into the bottom of the glasses. The cream is blended: soaked cashews, plant-based milk, Gold maple syrup, vanilla, and seed oil.
It appears liquid when made, but it solidifies in the fridge. The pineapple topping goes on after a couple of hours.

Ten passages
The biscuits
Blend for about 30 seconds in a food processor, slowly adding the melted butter.
The base
Divide among 4 glasses and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the cream.
The cashews
Pour them into the blender, soaked and well-drained.
How to soak them
In boiling water for 10 minutes, or in room temperature water for 2 hours.
The rest
Add your preferred plant-based milk, then maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sunflower oil.
Blend
In a very short time, you get a smooth and creamy mixture, which appears liquid: it will solidify in the fridge.
Based on
Pour the cream over the cookies.
Two hours in the fridge
Gently shake the shot glasses to distribute the cream, then place them in the fridge before adding the topping.
The topping
Blend the very ripe or canned pineapple and pour it over the now firm cream.
Keep
Refrigerate and consume within 2 days.
Two things to know
The cream looks wrong, but it isn't. It comes out of the blender liquid: it's the cashew fat and oil that make it solidify in the cold.
The topping goes on the already firm cream. Poured immediately, it sinks and the two layers mix.
The ingredient
The variety used in this recipe. Gold, delicate flavor: sweet and light, it doesn't overpower other ingredients.
