Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Vegan graham crackers
- 100 grams Coconut oil
- 250 grams Raw cashews
- 120 ml Almond milk
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 400 ml Coconut cream
- 300 grams Strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Agave syrup
Instructions
Start by soaking the cashews in boiling water for at least 1 hour to soften them.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the crust by placing the vegan graham crackers in a food processor and blending them into fine crumbs.
Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or a small pot.
Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted coconut oil in a bowl, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and let it cool completely.
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender along with almond milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape the sides as necessary.
Add coconut cream to the blended cashew mixture and blend again until fully combined and creamy.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Just before serving, prepare the strawberry topping by slicing the strawberries and mixing them in a bowl with agave syrup.
Arrange the strawberries on top of the set cheesecake.
Remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and serve.
