Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Crust Ingredients

• 2 cups almonds raw
• 2 cups dates pitted, chopped
• 1/2 cup cacao powder raw

Filling Ingredients

• 3 cups cashews raw, soaked for 2 hours
• 1 1/2 cup cranberries fresh
• 1 cup coconut oil organic, unrefined
• 3/4 cup agave raw
• 1/2 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
• 1/2 cup water filtered
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract alcohol-free
• pinch Celtic sea salt

Instructions

To Make the Crust

• Place the almonds, dates and cacao powder in your food processor until well combined.
• Roll this mixture into a ball (you might need a few more dates).
• Grease a 9 inch springform cake tin with coconut oil.
• Press the crust into the bottom of the pan and set aside.

To Make the Filling

• Place all of the filling ingredients into the blender and blend until rich and creamy.
• Tweak flavors to taste. You might want some more sweetener or lemon zest. Note: this is quite tart.
• Pour the filling into the tin.
• Cover this tin with aluminum foil and place in the freezer for at least 5 - 12 hours.
• Before serving, allow the cake to defrost for an hour and then place in the fridge. **
• To serve remove cake from tin, cut into slices and serve with raw cashew cream and lemon zest.

Notes

**Because of the coconut oil this cheesecake will melt if left out in the heat.
