# Miniature Beet Cheesecake Recipes These Dessert Bites are Vegan, Sugar-Free, and Gluten-Free By Amy Duong | Published 2019-03-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beet-cheesecake References: [lightorangebean](https://lightorangebean.com/mini-beet-cheesecake-bites/) Joyce from the Light Orange Bean blog introduces a recipe for [small beet cheesecake bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueberry-cheesecake-filled-timbit) and it rests in a foundation of [soaked raw cashews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-cashew-cottage-cheese) in place of the 'cheese' filling. It gives off a similar creamy texture that is accompanied by a nutty flavor. The beet cheesecake bite recipe requires no baking -- the filling combined lemon juice, soaked cashews, water, [beet puree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beet-salad-swirl), and agar agar noodles. The mixture blends together before it is transferred into an airtight container to refrigerate and piped into the crust. The crust blends coconut shreds, oaks, gluten-free flour, coconut oil, water, and pitted dates -- this requires 8 minutes of baking at 350 °F.
