Preparation

Step 1

To make the crust: Place the almonds, dates and cacao powder in your food processor until well combined. Roll this mixture into a ball (you might need a few more dates). Grease a 9 inch springform cake tin with coconut oil. Press the crust into the bottom of the pan and set aside. To make the filling: Place all of the filling ingredients into the blender and blend until rich and creamy. Tweak flavors to taste. You might want some more sweetener or lemon zest. Note: this is quite tart. Pour the filling into the tin. Cover this tin with aluminum foil and place in the freezer for at least 5 - 12 hours. Before serving, allow the cake to defrost for an hour and then place in the fridge. **Note: because of the coconut oil this cheesecake will melt if left out in the heat. To serve remove cake from tin, cut into slices and serve with raw cashew cream and lemon zest.
