Ingredients
For the base
- 150 gram almonds
- 100 gram dates (pitted)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
For the cheesecake filling
- 200 gram cashews (soaked overnight and drained)
- 100 milliliter coconut milk (the creamy part)
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
For the topping
- 200 gram strawberries (washed and sliced, if desired)
Instructions
- Place the almonds or walnuts, dates and coconut oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until a sticky mixture forms. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate.
- Add the soaked and drained cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and coconut oil to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tbsp of water.
- Pour the cashew cream over the prepared base and smooth it out. Place the springform in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
- Shortly before serving, slice the fresh strawberries. If they are not sweet enough, you can toss them with 1–2 tbsp of maple syrup.
- Arrange the strawberries evenly on top of the cheesecake. For an extra shine, you can brush the strawberries with a little maple syrup.
- Release the cheesecake from the springform, slice it into pieces, and enjoy!
