Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups Nilla Wafers
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla (I used Mexican vanilla!)
For the compote:
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar
For the cheesecake:
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 ripe peaches
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Line 12 muffin tins with parchment paper cupcake liners (these work SO much better than the regular paper ones!).
For the crust:
- In a small bowl, crush the Nilla wafers until they are small crumbs. I used a mix and chop to do this, but you could also use a food processor. Stir in the coconut oil and vanilla until the mixture is fully coated and slightly sticking together.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin (you may have some mixture left over), and gently press it into the bottom to even it out.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
For the compote:
- Cut the 2 peaches into small cubes and place in a medium sized sauce pan with the sugar.
- Cook on low until the mixture has cooked down, the peaches and sugar have formed a syrup, and it’s nice and thick (about 10 minutes). Stir frequently to avoid burning the mixture!
- Set aside.
For the cheesecake:
- In a medium sized bowl, beat together the cream cheese and egg. Add the sugar, yogurt and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the warm peach compote with a spatula.
- Evenly divide the cheesecake mixture between the 12 muffin tins, filling them up almost all the way.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheesecake mixture has set and is no longer jiggly.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then carefully remove and finish cooling on a baking rack. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Slice the remaining 2 peaches into small, thin pieces. Remove the cheesecakes from the wrapper and top with the fresh fruit.
- Enjoy immediately!
