Crust
1 cup pecans or macadamia nuts
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup dates (pressed down)
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
¼ tsp of Himalayan salt
Lemon Cheesecake layer
2 cups cashews (soaked for 2-4 hours and then drained)
3/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbs lemon zest (are unwaxed, organic lemons)
¼ cup of algave nectar or maple syrup
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbs vanilla extract
Blueberry layer
1 cup cashews (soaked for 2-4 hours and then drained)
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup coconut oil
¼ of algave nectar or maple syrup
½ cup of fresh blueberries to serve
Directions
- Put all ingredients for the crust except for the dates in a food processor and blend until the ingredients are all crumbly.
- Now add the dates and blend well.
- Press into the mixture into the bottom of a cake tin and place in the freezer whilst preparing the other layers.
- Wash out the blender and then place all the lemon layer ingredients into your food processor and blend until fairly smooth.
- Pour the lemon layer ingredients over the crust layer in your freezer and then place in the freezer until the next layer is ready.
- Wash out the blender again and place all ingredients for the blueberry layer into the food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour the blueberry layer on top of the lemon layer, add the remaining blueberries and pat down slightly and return to the freezer for a couple more hours.
- Place in the fridge for an hour or so before serving to soften enough to cut.
Note: If you want a small cake use a small cup throughout, if you want a larger cake use a larger cup. Don’t worry about exact measurements with recipes like this as they always taste delicious regardless.
