Purees to Flavor With
The purees and jams used today include – Guava and Passionfruit Purees, and Sorrel and Strawberry Jams.

Crafting the Graham-Cracker Crust

  1. First, in a mixing bowl, melt the butter. (I personally like to halfway melt my butter, but you can melt it as you like).
  2. Next, place the Graham Crackers in a Ziplock Bag.
  3. Then, using a Meat Mallet, crush the Graham Crackers until they resemble a small pebble. (Note: this is an excellent step to involve your kids in. You can show them how to use the Meat Mallet, crush the Graham Crackers, and leave them to it).
  4. Next, add the vanilla and Coconut Sugar to the melted butter and stir to combine.
  5. Then, once the Graham Crackers are crushed, add them to the melted butter mixture. Stir to combine with a fork.
  6. Next, line a muffin tin with silicone muffin inserts or grease it with Pam Baking Spray.
  7. Then, carefully press about 2 tbsp. of the Graham Cracker crust into the muffin pan. (Note: the amount of crust you put into the pan will depend on the size, so you may need more if you’re using a bigger pan).
  8. Finally, place the muffin tins into the refrigerator to let the crust set up while making the eggless cheesecake filling.
