Ingredients:
Base:
2 cups mixed nuts
1 cup pitted dates
1 tbsp coconut oil
Pinch of salt
Top layer:
2,5 cups cashews (soaked for 4 hours, drained)
1/2 tin full fat coconut milk
Juice from 1 lemon
Zest from 1 lemon
¼ cup maple syrup, honey or any other liquid sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Naturelly Jelly Pots
Toppings (optional):
Fresh figs, strawberries and black grapes
Method:
- Line the bottom of a 20cm springform cake tin with cling film. Make crust by adding nuts to a food processor and grinding to a fine crumb.
- Add in the dates, coconut oil and salt and combine until sticky mixture. Press into lined cake tin evenly and set aside in the fridge.
- Make the filling by adding the cashews to a food processor with all the other filling ingredients and blend on high until very smooth, creamy and pourable. If it’s too thick, add a bit more coconut milk.
- Pour filling on top of the base and pop in the freezer for at least 1 hour
- Next top the cheesecake with 3 Naturelly Jelly Pots dividing the jelly juice equally to create an even layer
- Place back in the freezer for minimum 4 – 5 hours, ideally overnight.
- Take out an hour before serving so it can thaw out to a creamy texture. Top with fresh fruit and enjoy.
