3 cups of cashews soaked in water for 4 hours
3/4 cup of maple syrup, raw honey or raw agave
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Action:
1. Make the base (unless you are using Noah's Rock'n Raw Chocolates already made). Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix. It should be dry but moist enough to pat into the cup cakes. Hand pat them into the cup cakes.
2. Make the cheesecake filling. Add all ingredients to a powerful blender like the VITAMIX until it is very smooth and light. Then pour it on top of the chocolate base in the cup cakes!
3. Freeze for 1 hour. Keep in fridge or freezer!
