Ricotta Cheesecakes
I love miniature desserts. It is great for portion control {and I NEED that!}. But you don’t need to feel too bad about eating one (or two) of these Mini Cheesecakes. Each No Bake Cheesecake is made with a gluten free walnut crust and is sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar.
California Walnuts supplied me with fresh walnuts to create a recipe. My favorite way to use walnuts is in breakfast or dessert recipes. I decided to go the dessert route. And it doesn’t get better than Walnuts and Honey!
Goodness gracious, just look at those California Walnuts glistening with golden honey . . . HEAVEN!
Not only are these ricotta cheesecakes mind blowing delicious. It is No Bake Cheesecake. No need to bake the crust or filling, so it is super easy to make too!
If you have never tried the ricotta, honey and walnut combo . . . Make These Cheesecakes Immediately! You will not be disappointed.

Thanks Barbara!
Did you use paper liners? It looks like you did in the pictures but you don’t mention it in the recipe.
Hi Leslie! Yes, I did use paper liners.
These are beautiful Nicole! Love that it’s no bake, too!! Yum!
Thanks Chris!
Do you think you could make this with cottage cheese instead of ricotta?
You know, I can’t say for sure as I have never attempted it. I would imagine that it would make for a completely different consistency though. Let me know if you decide to try it and if it turns out.
