Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) raw almonds or walnuts
  • 1 cup (120g) pitted medjool dates, soaked if dry
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups (300g) raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut cream
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • Optional: shredded coconut or chopped mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Pulse raw almonds or walnuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add pitted dates and sea salt, pulse until mixture sticks when pressed. Press firmly into bottom of springform pan. Set aside.
  2. Soak cashews: Soak cashews overnight in clean water or in very hot water for at least 1 hour if short on time. Drain and rinse before use.
  3. Make the filling: Blend soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt on high until ultra-smooth. Add plant milk or water if too thick.
  4. Assemble cheesecake: Pour filling over crust and smooth the top. Tap pan gently to remove air bubbles.
  5. Chill and set: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. Before serving, arrange berries on top and optionally sprinkle with shredded coconut or mint.

Notes

Soak cashews properly for a silky texture. Use full-fat coconut cream for richness. Balance lemon juice for tang. Chill cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Blend filling in batches if needed. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling.
