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).
