I spent most of today experimenting in the kitchen, and the favourite of all my results was this chocolate no-bake cheesecake.
For those who are in Australia, it tastes a lot like the Jamaican Chocolate Cheesecake from the cheesecake shop <3
Photos aren't great because photography is NOT my thing, and all I could find was my phone :)

RECIPE (Makes 8)
8x Shredded Wheatmeal Biscuits (could substitute graham crackers?)
15gm Light Smooth Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Almond Milk
70gm Honey
30gm Cocoa Powder
3 TBSP Stevia
440gm Light Cream Cheese
8 Raspberries
2TBSP mini choc chips (or some chocolate for grating)

BASE
1) Crush up the biscuits as small as you can, food processor works great
2) Mix in the peanut butter and half of the almond milk
3) Mix until it resembles a biscuit mix or cheesecake crust
4) Spread evenly between 8 muffin tins and push down HARD
5) Put 1 TSP almond milk over each for a little moisture
6) Cook at 160°c/320°f for 8 minutes
7) Cool in the fridge for 30 min, still in the muffin tin

TOPPING
1) Put the cream cheese, honey, stevia and cocoa in a bowel and mix with an electric mixer until texture resembles a very thick mousse.
2) Scoop evenly on top of the 8 bases while still in the muffin tin
3) Decorate with choc chips & raspberries

Place in the freezer for 2hr and they will be relatively easy to remove after that. Store in the freezer and remove 5min before you plan on eating them.

Nutrients for mine came out to 165cal/21c/5f/8p, but yours will probably be lower cal if you're in US etc as you can get lower cal cream cheese than us!


Let me know if you try; and enjoy :)

    I'm saving this to try soon!! Do you think other variations would work? I'm not a huge peanut butter person, and prefer plain or caramel cheesecake to chocolate.

    I don't see why not! Maybe icing sugar instead of cocoa powder for plain/vanilla?
    The peanut butter in the base isn't really noticeable, more just for texture/holding it together. My brother hates everything peanutty but still ate two without noticing. Butter would work just as well though.
