Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups raw cashews soaked in water for at least 4 hours and drained
  • 1 cup coconut cream from a can of coconut milk
  • cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 cups mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust based on berry sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method
 

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted coconut oil until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Pour the cashew mixture over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  4. While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the springform pan and slice it into pieces. Serve each slice topped with the berry sauce.
