Vegan Raspberry Lime Cheesecake with Coconut Crust

Course Dessert
Servings 1 6" cheesecake
Author Rachel Conners

Ingredients

For the crust

For the filling

  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water overnight then drained and rinsed before using (see Notes)
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • Zest from 2 small limes
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 1-3 tablespoons maple syrup to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh or frozen but thawed raspberries

For the topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.. Lightly grease a 5” or 6” springform pan, or if you don’t have one, line a small cake pan (5”-8”) with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  • In a bowl, stir together all of the crust ingredients. Press in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Put all ingredients for the filling in a blender and mix until mixture is as smooth as possible. Pour the filling into the crust, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  • Remove the cake from the pan and leave to thaw in room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cutting. Top with freeze-dried raspberry powder, fresh raspberries, shredded coconut and edible flowers. I usually run my knife under warm water (and dry off) before cutting, to make a cleaner cut. Let each piece thaw for a few more minutes before serving.

Notes

If you're impatient, like me, you can let the cashews soak in boiling hot water for one hour instead of overnight.
