Ingredients
  

For the Cherry Topping
  • 1 cup frozen cherries pitted
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp arrowroot powder
  • 3 tbsp water
For the Crust
  • ½ cup raw pecans
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil softened
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
For the Filling
  • cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Equipment

  • Small saucepan for cooking the cherry topping
  • Blender to make the no-bake crust
  • Refrigerator if chilling before serving

Method
 

Prepare the Cherry Topping
  1. In a small saucepan, combine frozen cherries, coconut sugar, lemon juice, arrowroot powder, and water. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool.
Make the Crust
  1. While the cherries cook, blend pecans, almond flour, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and salt in a food processor until the mixture holds together when pressed. If needed, add a bit more coconut oil or a pitted date for better binding.
Layer the Crust
  1. Divide the crust evenly and press into the bottom of 4 small jars.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a bowl or stand mixer, beat together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Jars
  1. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each jar. Top with cooled cherry topping. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled treat!
