Raw Cheesecake Recipe

Filling

  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp melted virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water (plus more for soaking cashews)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • optional: Blend strawberries with a little sweetener of choice for a sauce or shave vegan/sugar free chocolate on top  

Instructions
 In a  bowl, cover the cashews with water and let soak 8 hours or overnight. Drain and pat dry. Combine all ingredients (including the 1/4 cup water) in a high-quality food processor or Vitamix and process for 6-7 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Pour into a crust

Crust 
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 1/16 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • up to 1 tbsp water, if needed

Instructions
 Combine all crust ingredients except water in a high-quality food processor (not a blender) until fine crumbles form. If the mixture is too dry, add the water.   Line a round 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture into  pan. Cover  and freeze for at least a couple hours. Store the raw cheesecake in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, and thaw 10-20 minutes before serving.
