"RAW LIVING" Strawberry Cheesecake

I LOVE THIS RECIPE! I could seriously talk for hours about raw food, as well as vegan recipes! I find that I like to make a raw food dessert about every week and a half, I then munch on a slice a night, and it fills me up, and is OH SO YUMMY, and healthy too! So here is is folks, the strawberry cheesecake recipe. Big thanks to Priscilla Levac!








Crust:
2 Cups Macadamia Nuts, unsoaked
½ Cup Dates, pitted
¼ Cup Dried Coconut


“Cheese”


3 Cups Cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour
¾ Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
¾ Cup Honey
¾ Cup Coconut Oil, melted
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
½ Teaspoon Salt


Berry Sauce:
1 Bag Frozen Strawberries, Rasberries or Blueberries.
½ Cup Dates


Crust:
Process macadamia nuts first then add dates. Sprinkle coconut on the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch spring form pan. Press crust onto the coconut. This will prevent sticking.
Cheese: Blend all ingredients together. Add a little water if necessary.Pour the mixture into the crust. Place in the freezer until firm.


Berry Sauce: Blend berries and dates until smooth. Pour onto cheesecake when firm.
