Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water, allowing them to soak for at least 1 hour or until soft. This will help create a creamy texture.
To prepare the crust, combine the raw almonds, pitted dates, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground and holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners or use paper liners. Divide the almond-date crust mixture evenly among the cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom of each to form a compact crust.
Once the cashews are soaked and drained, add them to a high-speed blender along with the coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil.
Blend the filling ingredients on high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour the cashew filling over the crusts, evenly dividing it among the 12 cups.
Top each mini cheesecake with a few mixed berries for garnish.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for at least 2 to 4 hours, or until the cheesecakes are set and firm.
Once set, remove the cheesecakes from the liners and let them thaw for about 10-15 minutes before serving, so they reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
