Ingredients:
[hd]For the base[/hd]200g raw walnuts
7 Medjool dates, pitted
20g unsweetened desiccated coconut
a pinch of salt
[hd]For the Raw cheese cake filling[/hd]
375g cashews, soaked, drained (soak in water overnight or for at least 4 hours)
120ml lemon juice
150ml maple syrup
90g 15+ Steens Manuka honey
100g coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla powder or 1 pod, seeds only
1800g cherries, half pitted, half left whole
1800g raspberries, halved lengthways
edible flowers if you have them to hand
method:
- To make the crust, sprinkle the coconut evenly on the bottom of a 20cm loose bottom cake tin.
- Place the walnuts, dates and salt into a food processor, blitz until you have a crumbly sticky mix. Push the mix evenly into the base of your tin and set aside.
- To make the “cheese”, blend the cashews, lemon juice, maple syrup, honey, coconut oil, vanilla powder and half of the halved cherries in a high powered blender until completely smooth and creamy. Scatter the remaining halved cherries onto the crust.
- Pour the filling evenly onto the crust and place in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours. When you are ready to serve remove the cheesecake about 20 minutes before you want to eat it, as it needs time to soften but not totally unthaw.
- When you are ready to serve simply scatter the raspberries and whole cherries over the top and any fresh edible flowers if you have them.
