Take note
Please note that this recipe requires refrigeration time to set properly. Also, keep in mind that this cheesecake contains no dairy or animal products, so it may have a slightly different texture than traditional cheesecake.

1

Prepare the Crust

In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of pitted dates, 1 cup of almonds, and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and easily moldable.

2

Press the Crust

Transfer the crust mixture to a springform pan or pie dish. Press it evenly onto the bottom, creating a firm base for your cheesecake. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to ensure it is packed tightly.

3

Make the Filling

In a blender, combine 2 cups of soaked cashews (drained), 1/2 cup of coconut cream, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4

Pour and Smooth

Pour the filling onto the prepared crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top, making sure it's even and free of lumps. Feel free to get creative and add any desired toppings such as fresh fruit or crushed nuts.

5

Chill and Set

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a reusable silicone lid. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight if you can't wait that long (we totally understand!). This will allow the cheesecake to set and firm up.

6

Serve and Enjoy

Once thoroughly chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan or slice the cheesecake if using a pie dish. Serve your delicious no-bake vegan cheesecake to celebrate your culinary triumph! Remember to share (or not, we won't judge!).
