V | GF | DF | Serves 18
Ingredients
Base:
- ¾ cup walnuts
- 1 cup almonds
- 6-7 medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tbsps cacao powder
- 2 ½ tbsps coconut oil
- 1 pinch himalayan salt
- 1 handful of raspberries, for scattering
Filling:
- 2 cups raw unsalted cashews, soaked in a bowl overnight
- 1 cup coconut yoghurt
- ¾ cup coconut cream
- ¾ cup coconut butter, melted
- ⅓ cup rice malt syrup
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lime, squeezed
Raspberry Coulis:
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp rice malt syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tbsp Beauty Berries
Method
-
Line a medium sized baking dish or cake tin (including the sides) with baking paper.
-
In a food processor or a high-speed blender, blitz the base ingredients (except the raspberries) until a crumb like consistency. Scoop the base into the baking dish or tin and flatten evenly with a spatula. Carefully scatter some raspberries on top of the base.
-
In a blender, add the filler ingredients and blend until a smooth “cheese” like consistency. Pour this mixture on top of the base and raspberries and again flatten out with a spatula.
-
Add the raspberry coulis ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Spoon the coulis over the filling layer. Using the bottom of a spoon, carefully swirl the coulis to make a marble pattern.
-
Cover the cheesecake and place into the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
