Best Ever Raw Cheesecake

This is better than real cheesecake! It is nutrient dense so I don’t feel like eating the whole cake at once. Extremely satisfying!
 

Ingredients

*CRUST*:
1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/4 cup shredded coconut

*FILLING*:
3 cups cashews
3/4 cup lemon juice, from about 6 lemons
3/4 cup agave syrup OR honey (OR 3/4 cup pitted dates OR I have used Golden Raisins – soaked in 1/2 cup water as needed) OR Coconut Sugar
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 vanilla bean (I use vanilla extract – – Almond extract is clear)
UP TO 1/2 cup water, as needed

To make the crust: process the macadamia nuts into small pieces with salt in the food processor. Slowly add dates and mix well.


“FLOUR” the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan with the shredded coconut.
Press crust evenly onto the bottom of the pan. Set aside.


NOTE: I put plastic sheet in the bottom of the pan first THEN the coconut & then the crust. It makes it easier to remove.

To make the filling: Blend cashews, lemon juice, agave, coconut oil and vanilla IN YOUR BLENDER.
Add JUST ENOUGH water to blend into a smooth cream. Pour into spring-form pan, and place in the freezer until firm.

Topping – I use berries that are in season. I put 1 cup in the blender to create a sauce and add additional berries to the sauce and pour on the top

Before serving, take cake out of the freezer and remove from the pan WHILE FROZEN. Place cake on a plate and defrost in the fridge for an hour before serving.

To make the crust, combine the dates, dried walnuts in a food processor. Process for 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth. Using wet hands, place the mixture in the prepared baking pan and spread out evenly. Place the pan in the freezer.

To make the wild blueberry ice cream layer combine the frozen bananas, wild blueberries, vanilla and maple syrup in a food processor. Process until smooth scraping down the sides as needed. Carefully spread the wild blueberry layer on top of the vanilla layer and freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours or until set.

1 Avocado

Cookie Dough Bites
Ingredients

2/3 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup oats
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 TBL coconut nectar, agave or honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup cacao nibs

  1. Combine cashews, oats and salt in a food processor and blend just until they form a powdery four. Take care not to over blend to avoid making oat-cashew butter; the final texture of the dough balls will turn out better if ingredients stay dry.

  2. Add coconut nectar and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients mixture. Stop when the ingredients form a stick ball.

  3. Stir cacao nibs in by hand, then roll into individual small balls and set on a plate. If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before rolling

  4. Cover the plate and chill or freeze the cookie dough balls for eating at any time. YUM!
