Take note
A few cautions to keep in mind when making this Citrus-Infused Raw Vegan Cheesecake: 1. Make sure to soak the nuts ahead of time for a smooth texture. 2. Use fresh citrus fruits for the best flavors. 3. The cheesecake needs to set in the freezer, so plan ahead for the chilling time.

1

Soak the nuts

Measure out 1 cup of raw cashews and place them in a bowl. Cover the cashews with water and let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer they soak, the creamier your cheesecake will be!

2

Prepare the crust

In a food processor, blend 1 cup of pitted dates, 1 cup of almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Process until the mixture becomes sticky and easily holds together when pressed between your fingers. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan.

3

Blend the filling

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of coconut oil, and the zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4

Pour and chill

Pour the filling onto the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the cheesecake in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.

5

Serve and enjoy!

Remove the cheesecake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Release the sides of the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Garnish with additional citrus zest or fresh fruit slices. Slice and serve this refreshing treat to your lucky guests!
