Ingredients
Raw Vegan Bluberry and Passionfruit Cheesecake
Base
  • 1 cup nuts (I used equal parts walnuts and almonds)
  • 5 mejool dates pitted
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • pinch of sea salt
Filling
  • 3 cups cashews soaked over night
  • ⅓ cup frozen organic blueberries
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 small can of passionfruit pulp
  • 3T maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Mix the base ingredients together in a food processor and process until finely crumbled.
  2. Line the base and sides of a 20cm springform tin with wax paper. ( for the sides, lightly brush with coconut oil so the wax paper sticks to it flushly)
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the tin needing it in with your knuckles until it is evenly spread and ensly packed on the bottom. Place the base in the freezer until you are ready with the filling.
  4. For the filling process the soaked and drained cashews and maple syrup in a food processor or blender until smooth. You may need to add a little water to assist.
  5. Add all the lemon juice and process.
  6. Divide the mixture into 3 bowls
  7. Return the contents of two bowls to the blender and add blueberries one by one until the mixture turns a pale shade of purple. Use your descresion here as to how dark you want the color to be remembering that the next layer will be much darker.
  8. Return half the blender mixture to a bowl and add the remaining blueberries and the lemon zest to the blender. Process until a deep rich purple colour then pour the mixture back into a bowl.
  9. You should have 3 bowls of different colours. Spoon the the darkest blueberry mixture over the base first and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Do the same with the next 2 layers, layering the pale blueberry next and then the passionfruit mix on top.
  10. Freeze for an hour to set. Keep it at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
  11. Spoon some passionfruit pulp over the top and serve with seasonal fruit.
