A creamy dairy-free dessert that packs some heavy nutrients too!
Ingredients
  • CRUST: ¾ cup slivered almonds
  • 6 soft pitted Medjool dates
  • 1.5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Pinch of salt
  • FILLING: ½ cup cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
  • 1 banana
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • TOPPING: A few strawberries (or berries of your choice)
Instructions
  1. Let your cashews soak in a bowl of water for at least 4 hours before you start the rest of the cheesecake. Soaking them in hot water is recommended.
  2. Put all of your ingredients for your crust into a food processor and process away!
  3. Drain your cashews and place them into a high-speed blender (I used my Vitamix) with the rest of the filling ingredients.
  4. Squish the crust mixture down into small cupcake liners or a small pie pan.
  5. Pour the blended filling mixture on top of the crust evenly distributing to each cupcake liner (if you do a pie pan you'll have no trouble).
  6. Slice up your strawberries on top so they cover the whole cheesecake.
  7. Freeze for at least 8 hours and then nom nom nom!
