Raw Vegan Cheesecake

An easy to follow raw vegan recipe.

This raw vegan cheesecake is smooth, creamy and easy to make.

If you want a raw vegan crust then read my article Raw Vegan Pie Crust (No Bake Pie Crust) to learn how to make it.

But if you want a more “traditional” tasting baked crust, then follow these instructions:

• 1 cup walnuts
• ½ cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or your fav liquid sweetener

Place the nuts in a food processor and process until they are finely chopped. Add the almond flour and process until it becomes a crumbly mixture. If you want to add more sweetness, add some maple syrup at this point. Press into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan that has been lined with parchment paper or greased. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then set aside and let cool completely before filling with cheesecake batter

Filling Ingredients

• 1 cup of cashews
• 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast flakes or hemp powder if you don’t like the taste of nutritional yeast
• 4 dates, pitted and soaked in hot water for 30 minutes. Then drained and chopped up into small pieces.
• Juice from 1 lemon (2–3 tablespoons)
