"I have never been a big cheesecake fan. This raw, dairy-free version sounded too good not to try. The blueberries go well with the white chocolate flavour. This pie is always a huge hit at dinner parties and it has converted me to a 'Cheesecake' lover. It is super simple to make taking only 20 minutes of your time".
Ingredients for Crust:
- 1/2 cup brazil nuts
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 Tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 2 dates
Ingredients for Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (frozen blueberries must be well thawed)
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp melted cacao butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Process all crust ingredients in a food processor until crumbly. The mixture should stick when pressed between your fingers. If it is too dry, add a little water. Press the mixture into the bottom of a cake tin or pie dish.
2. Melt the coconut butter and honey in a saucepan.
3. Process the cashews into a fine powder.
4. Add melted honey/oil and remaining filling ingredients and process until smooth and creamy. Pour the filing over the crust and chill or freeze for at least 2 hours (or until ready to serve).
5. Garnish with fresh blueberries and some mint leaves.
