I'm well known for my cheesecakes and wanted to make something a little different than my usual chocolate based recipes. These are raw, gluten free and a cute little dessert to serve to your guests.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients

Yield: 6 Mini Cheesecakes (6 Servings)
Needed Kitchenware: Blender, food processor (optional), 6 ~2-inch round mini cake pans with removable bottoms, freezer
Base
  • 100 g mixed nuts, unsalted
  • pinch of sea salt or pink salt
  • 2 tbsp date nectar, or other syrup like maple
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Filling
  • 150 g cashews, raw and unsalted (soaked overnight in lukewarm water or 30 minutes in just boiled water)
  • Juice from 1 orange
  • 100 ml coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • (optional) ¼ tsp spirulina powder for color
  • Zest from 1 orange
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
Decoration
  • (optional) Spinkle of cinnamon
  • (optional) Dried orange slice
  • (optional) Whole pistachios
Recipe Directions

Directions

  • To a food processor or blender add the nuts and salt. Blend until the nuts resemble large breadcrumbs.
  • Now add the syrup, oil, and vanilla. Blend again until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Using 6 mini, removable bottom tins, add about 2 tsp of the mixture and press down with a spoon or shot glass. Repeat to fill all 6. Set these aside while you make the topping.
  • Drain the cashews and add them to a blender. Also add the orange juice, oil, syrup, vanilla, and spirulina powder.
  • Blend until you have a thick, lump-free cream. This may take a few minutes depending on your blender. Scrape the sides and blend again if you have any lumps.
  • Stir in the zest and chopped nuts. Now pour equally into each tin over the base. Freeze for at least two hours to set.
  • Remove from the tins while still frozen so they keep their shape. Store in the fridge.
  • I decorated mine with dried orange, whole pistachios, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
Notes

You can substitute the date nectar for other syrup like maple syrup.
