Instructions
Make Crust
In a food processor, blend the almonds, rolled oats, and Medjool dates until fine and crumbly. Add the water and blend briefly or mix with your hands to incorporate. Divide the mixture evenly among lined muffin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom of each and filling each cup about ⅓ full to form the crust layer.
Blend Filling
Blend cheesecake layer ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Assemble & Chill
Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust, filling each muffin cup almost to the top (the cheesecake layer should be slightly thicker than the crust). Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
