Scrumptious Strawberry Vegan Cheesecake

Utensils

    You will need a 22cm round spring form tin

Nutty Base

Use this combination of Nuts, or what ever you have handy

    1 cup macadamia nuts
    1/2 cup walnuts
    1/4 cup shredded coconut
    Pinch of Himalayan salt
    1/2 - 3/4 cup pitted dates

Ingredients for Filling

    4 cups raw cashews (soaked for 2-4 hours and then drained)
    3/4 cup lemon juice
    3/4 to 1 cup coconut nectar
    3/4 cup coconut oil
    1 fresh vanilla bean, scraped

Colourful Healthy Topping

    2 cups frozen strawberries
    1/2 - 3/4 cup pitted dates
    1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries and 1 cup whole strawberries, to serve

    How To:
  
    Step 1

    Lightly cover the round spring form tin with coconut oil. Line the base and sides with baking paper. This step helps when it comes time to remove the finished cheesecake from the tin. Next place the top 4 crust ingredients in a food processor, process into chunky crumbs. Next add the dates and pulse until all ingredients are well combined BUT don't overprocess. Press mix into the base of the spring form tin and place in the freezer while you prepare the rest of the cheesecake
   
Step 2

    Blend the ingredients for the filling at high speed until smooth. Pour onto the base and return to the freezer. Note: Make sure the base filling has set enough before pouring the strawberry mixture on top
   
Step 3

    In a clean blender, blend the frozen strawberries and dates on high until smooth. Pour this mix on top of the cheesecake layer and return to the freezer for 4 - 5 hours or overnight
   
Step 4

    When you are ready to serve, let the cheesecake sit first at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Release the cheesecake from the spring form tin and carefully remove the baking paper. Place the cheesecake onto a decorative serving platter. Arrange the thinly sliced and whole strawberries on top
