Optimized for Great Health and Weight
It is a sweet dessert but still, it’s 99% whole natural plant foods to keep you healthy and trim.
Even made without fattening oil that inflames your arteries and makes your blood viscous and sluggish.
Instead, you get to eat raw, alkalizing almonds that are rich in whole food fats, copper, magnesium, vitamin E and protein.
The dates pack potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and zinc – minerals which our bodies need so much.
You get B3 and B9 vitamins from the poppy seeds along with some healthy fats.
The chia seeds provide those super important antiinflammatory Omega-3 fats for vascular and brain health.
And berries – berries are micronutrient powerhouses that are rich in antioxidants which are the natural detoxifiers of the body.
Berries also lower the glycemic index of other foods and that means that this sweet temptation of a cake might actually not raise your blood sugar to unhealthy levels, after all!

Healthy Vegan Cheesecake with Blueberries | Whole Foods
Fresh but creamy, this is one sweet delight that helps you stay happy and healthy, even help you lose weight! Enjoy
Ingredients
For the Base
- 2 cups (200 g) raw almonds
- 9 regular pitted dates
- 1 tbsp raw cacao beans, ground
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 7 tbsp water
For the cashew cream
- 3 cups (300 g) raw cashews
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tbsp poppy seeds
- 4 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¾ cup water
Topping
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ½ cup raspberries
Instructions
- Place all ingredients for the base in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and a sticky dough is formed.
- Spread the dough evenly into the bottom of a round cake pan and press it well into one layer.
- For the cashew cream, place all ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture over the nut base and smooth the surface.
- Place in the refrigerator overnight.
- For the topping, combine the blueberries and lemon juice and mash them with a fork.
- Spread the blueberries on top of the cheesecake!
- Decorate with fresh raspberries.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- For the nut base, you can blend the almonds and dates separately and
then mix them together. But I prefer to do it all at once as everything
gets better combined. - You can soak the cashew nuts for several hours before blending them.
I didn`t have time for this but I found that dry cashews absorb the
added water very well and the cream gets firm well enough after
refrigerated for several hours. (There is no coconut oil or other oil in
the recipe that hardens when refrigerated).
Thank you so much for oil free and coconut free cheesecake that is wholesome!!!! It was so hard to find those that are of Whole Foods. I may try to experiment with this recipe to lower the fat so I could have more often during week.
Hi Sarah, thanks for the kind words. I also think there aren’t enough whole food recipes out there, especially desserts. I try to make my recipes without any processed ingredients – thanks for appreciating my work.
I hope that you like the cheesecake. Share how it turns out and if you have any questions, please ask away!
