CASHEW STRAWBERRY MANGO CHEESECAKE
BERRIES
SWEETS
INGREDIENTS:
BASE
1 ¼ cup coconut flakes
1 cup macadamia nuts
Pinch sea salt
½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. dates
FILLING
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups cashews soaked at least 4 hours and drained
½ cup lemon juice
½ cup maple syrup
Pinch sea salt
½ melted coconut oil
1 mango chopped – about 1 cup
1 pinch Turmeric
1 cup strawberries
DIRECTIONS:
Pulse the base ingredients together until they form a dough. Line a 9″ (a 12″ works as well) springform pan with parchment paper and press the dough evenly on the bottom. Use the back on a spoon to make sure it’s nice and compact.
Drain the cashews and combine in a blender with lemon, salt, vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil. Puree until smooth. Remove ⅓ of the mix (about 1 cup) and set aside.
To the remaining ⅔ of the mix in the blended, add the mango and turmeric, puree until smooth. Pour this mixture over the base.
Add the last ⅓ of mix black to the blended along with the strawberries. Puree until smooth and pour over the mango layer.
Chill in the fridge overnight, or for a quicker set, store in the freezer for a few hours.
