Ingredients
For the base
1 1/2 cups of sliced almonds
2 tablespoon desiccated coconut
3 large Medjool dates pitted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 teaspoons water
Pinch of salt
For the cheesecake filling
2 1/4 cups of raw cashew nuts
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup coconut oil melted
For the raspberry topping
1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon water
1 cup of the filling
It was made using the Kuvings SV400 Vacuum Blender.
Method
Make the base
Remove the seed and soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes, then chop
Add almonds, coconut, dates, vanilla extract, water and salt and blend until well combined (pulse on slow and keep scraping sides down to combine)
Put into a bowl and put aside (or press into 6 small dessert glasses as the base)
Make the cheesecake filling
Add cashews, water, lime juice, honey, vanilla extract and coconut oil into the blender and blend until you have a smooth texture (it might take two blend cycles)
Set aside 1 cup of the filling and put the rest into a bowl, or divide the rest between your dessert glasses with the base
If you have used dessert glasses, place them into the freezer while making the topping
Make the raspberry topping
Combine the filling that you have set aside with raspberries, lime juice and water in a blender
Blend until combined and smooth
If you are using dessert glasses, divide the raspberry filling between your dessert glasses and place back in the freezer for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator for another 1-2 hour before serving
Combine together in a silicon mould
Divide the base into 8 muffin moulds
Divide the cheesecake filling on top of the base
Divide the raspberry topping on top of the cheesecake
Place into the freezer to set
Once frozen, take them out of your silicon mould and allow to thaw before serving
Enjoy!
