Ingredients
 
 

  • 300 g Cashews soaked- see instructions
  • 60 g Coconut cream the thick bit, not the water
  • ½ Lemon juice medium sized
  • 120 ml Maple syrup/ honey
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla bean paste
  • 300 g Cream cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

For the Biscuit Base

  • 180 g Biscuits I used GF, refined sugar free biscuits but this is up to you
  • 6 Pitted medjool dates
  • 4 tablespoon Coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • For this recipe to be perfectly creamy, you need your cashews to be super soft. The way to do this is to soak them properly. This can be done overnight, in a bowl of water. Or if you are stripped for time, place the cashews in boiling hot water for 1 hour.
  • In a food processor, place the dates, biscuits and coconut oil. Blitz together until a fine crumb has formed. Then, press your biscuit mixture into a baking tin with a removable bottom. For this recipe, I used an 8 inch baking tray. The removable bottom will make your life 100x easier so I recommend using a tin with a removable bottom. Press the biscuit base until it is evenly distributed in the tin.
  • In a high power blender, place the soaked cashews, cream cheese, coconut cream, vanilla paste, maple syrup, salt and lemon juice. Blend until it is completely smooth (this may take a good few minutes). Pour this into your baking tin and use a spoon/ palette knife to evenly spread the layer out. Place into the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours. You could leave this in the fridge overnight!
  • Once your cheesecake is set and out of the fridge, decorate with fresh berries! I chose strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. You could do a chocolate/ peanut butter topping if you would prefer.
  • Slice this up and serve. Store in the fridge. ENJOY :)
