Cheesecake is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed by people all over the world for centuries. The first cheesecakes were made by the Greeks over 2,000 years ago, and the recipe has evolved over time to include many different variations. Today, cheesecake is typically made with a crust made from graham crackers or cookies, and a filling made from cream cheese, sugar, and eggs. However, this recipe for no-bake berry cheesecake bites is a bit different. It uses almond flour instead of graham crackers or cookies for the crust, and it does not contain any eggs. This makes it a great option for people who are looking for a gluten-free or dairy-free cheesecake.
