Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
To make the crust, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl.
Mix until the ingredients are well combined and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
While the crust is baking, soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes, then drain them.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend the soaked cashews, lemon juice, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut flour, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sea salt until completely smooth.
Pour the cashew mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, slice into 8 pieces and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
