Begin by preparing the crust. Place the raw almonds in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
Add the pitted Medjool dates to the ground almonds in the food processor and blend until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. Divide the crust mixture evenly among 12 muffin cups, pressing it down firmly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form an even layer.
To prepare the filling, place the dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt in a clean food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Spoon the filling over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin, dividing it evenly among the 12 cups.
Smooth the tops with a spatula, then tap the muffin tin gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the mini cheesecakes to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the mini cheesecakes from the muffin tin by lifting the liners out.
When ready to serve, top each mini cheesecake with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for garnish, if desired.
Allow the mini cheesecakes to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
