I have absolutely saved the best for last team! This is a recipe I created from scratch and it’s my all time fave. These perfect little cheesecakes are delicious – you will never want to eat regular cheesecake again! It is perfect for a summer treat and made with wholesome ingredients. They are gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free. Just remember to soak your cashews the day before, but otherwise a very easy recipe.
Male these for your family for Christmas and they love you for it!
Ingredients
Base:
1 cup cashews
1 cup almonds
½ cup coconut
½ cup soaked dates
1 TBS maple
Lemon Filling:
2 cups of cashews, soaked overnight
400 grams coconut cream
½ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup cacao butter, melted
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Pinch of salt
Method:
For the base, soak your dates in boiling water for 10 mins.
Combine the nuts and coconut in a blender and blend until fine.
Drain the dates and add to the blender along with the maple syrup and blend until combined. The mixture should hold together well and be sticky.
Spoon one table spoon at a time into silicon cupcake trays, press down with the back of the spoon and then pop in the fridge while you make the fillings.
Make the filling:
To make the filling, add all of your lemon filling incredients into the blender and blend until smooth and glossy, approx 3-5 minutes.
Pour into molds to about half way, leaving room for the raspberry layer on top. Return to fridge.
To make the raspberry layer, add 1 cup fresh or freeze dried raspberries to your lemon filling and blend for a minute, or until completely blended. Pour into your molds, filling to the top. Sprinkle freeze dried raspberry on top.
Set in the freezer up to 4 hours, or overnight.
