no bake pistachio cheesecake brownie cups

if you’re looking for a dessert that’s as beautiful as it is indulgent, these no bake pistachio cheesecake brownie cups are going to steal your heart.

they feel like a dessert you’d get at a fancy patisserie, but they’re simple to make at home.

taste and texture

the flavor of these cups is nothing short of decadent!

the base is dense and chewy, with the perfect balance of rich cocoa and natural sweetness from medjool dates.

the pistachio cheesecake layer is silky, creamy, and slightly tangy from the vegan cream cheese, with a perfect nuttiness from the pistachio butter.

the optional toppings of cookies, melted chocolate, and pistachios take the flavor and texture to the next level, adding crunch and extra indulgence.

ingredient highlights

these cups are made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, flax meal, almond butter, and medjool dates, which create a nutritious and flavorful base.

the pistachio butter is the star of the show, giving the cheesecake layer its unique flavor and vibrant color.

maple syrup adds natural sweetness, while the vegan cream cheese brings a luscious creaminess.

everything comes together to create a dessert that’s both indulgent and lighter than traditional cheesecake!

making your own pistachio butter

while you can use store-bought pistachio butter, making your own is easy and fun. here’s how:

• start with roasted, unsalted pistachios. you can roast them yourself in the oven at 350°f for about 8-10 minutes if needed.
• add the pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor.
• blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. this can take about 5-10 minutes, depending on your machine. if the pistachios are struggling to blend, you can add a teaspoon of neutral oil, like avocado oil.
• store your pistachio butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.

1. make the brownie base: blend almond flour, flax meal, almond butter, medjool dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a food processor until it forms a sticky dough. press this into the bottom of a lined muffin tin or silicone molds.
2. prepare the cheesecake filling: whisk or blend softened vegan cream cheese, pistachio butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. spoon this mixture over the brownie base.
3. freeze: let the cups set in the freezer for several hours until firm.
