Ingredients:
"Cheesecake" filling
3 1/2 cups of soaked raw cashews
3 cups of dark cherries (not frozen)
3 tbsp of lemon juice
2 tbsp of cinnamon
4-5 tbsp of maple syrup (not cold)
1/4 of a cup of coconut water (not cold)
1/3 of a cup of melted coconut oil
Crust
1 cup of activated almonds
1 cup of raw oats
1 cup of dried Black Mission Figs
2 tbsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of lemon zest
2-3 tbsp of maple syrup
Topped with blueberries and some cherries
Directions:
Soak cashews for 24-32 hours, drain them and set aside.
Take your crust ingredients and process them with a high-speed blender or a food processor till desired texture. (want a thicker crust? just double the recipe)
Take your cheesecake filling ingredients (except 1 cup of cherries, so only use 2 cups for the filling) then blend them with a high-speed blender until smooth.
Layer crust into a springform pan, (I used 9 inches pan).
Into a bowl mix the last 1-cup of cherries with the cheesecake filling and mix.
Then pour your filling into the springform pan. Top it of with any kind of berries you want.
Freeze for 6 hours. Before cutting the cake let it sit out for 15 minutes or so and it’s ready to eat. Enjoy.
