Vegan blue berry cheesecake
Nothing like a cheesecake but definitely as good as a cheesecake.
This was the first time I made this cake myself and the second time I ate it. The fresh taste of cashew and lemon is just simple heavenly.
What do you need:
Crust
– 1/2 cup almond flour.
– 2/3 cup medjool dates (about 6-7).
– 2 pinches of himalaya salt.
Filling
– 1 1/2 cup raw cashew nuts, soaked in water overnight.
– 1/3 cup melted coconut oil.
– 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey, but then it’s not vegan).
– Juice of 2 lemons.
– 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
– 1/2 cup berries of blue berries ( you can use any variety).
– springform 20 cm diameter.
How to prepare:
Chop the dates in a powerful blender until they are paste, mix together the almond flour and salt. Pat the mixture firmly onto the bottom of a 18 cm springform tin that you have greased.
In the blender, whip the soaked cashews, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla and maple syrup or honey for several minutes on high until smooth and glossy. Pour half of the batter over the crust. Divide the berries over the batter and pour the remaining batter carefully on top of the berries.
Cover the tin in plastic wrap and set in the freezer until solid. Wait for some friends to come over if you can manage to wait that long.
Enjoy !
Leftovers you store in the freezer.

Very interesting recipe, and without sugar, I want to try making it meyself! Can you maybe tell me where I can get the almond flower in Amsterdam, which kind of stores sell this special flower?
Hello, the almond flour you can buy it at any health food stores.
You could also use blanco almonds and ground these yourself in a food processor.
This weekend I ‘baked’ this cake. It was very nice, with a special taste you don’t expect. Very addictive, I couldnt resist :-) I made the crust with too much big dates, next time I will use little bit less (or more almond flour) so the dough will be the less sticky. Thanks for your recipe!
Thank you for making me smile today by telling me you loved the cake as much as i did. More recipes to come : )
