Equipment

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • ½ cup pecans
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 8 ounces pitted dates
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

For the Cheesecake

  • 2 cups cashews soaked in a bowl of water overnight
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 lemons juice and zest only
  • 2 cups strawberries

For the Glaze

  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch

Instructions

  • Start by making the crust. Combine all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until well combined and everything starts to mix and come together.
  • Line a round 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Press the crust down into the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  • To make the cheesecake, place all the ingredients (except the strawberries) into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Pour two cups of the cheesecake mixture onto the crust. Place in the freezer.
  • Add two cups of strawberries to the remaining batter. Blend until smooth in a mixer.
  • Remove the pan from the freezer and gently pour the strawberry mixture on top. Return to freezer for 5-6 hours or until completely frozen.
  • Remove from the freezer and remove from the springform pan.
  • For the glaze, add all the ingredients to a small saucepan and stir until the mixture thickens. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Allow to cool completely.
  • Drizzle the glaze onto the top of the cheesecake. You can freeze for a third layer if you like.
  • Cut into ten pieces to serve.
