Ingredients
Crust
- 6 oz. Coconut cranberry granola
- ½ teaspoon pink salt
- 4 ⅓ tablespoons butter
Filling
- 1 ½ cups cashews, soaked
- 10.58 oz. cream cheese
- ½ cup low fat yogurt
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil, solid
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract,
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Toppings
- 6 oz. raspberries
- Line the bottom and sides of a 7.5 or 8" cake tin (with removable base) with some parchment paper.
- Add the granola and sea salt to your food processor and blend for about 30 seconds until evenly finely ground. Add in the butter and blend again until evenly combined and the mixture sticks together between your fingers. Press the mixture into the base of the cake tin, and smooth it out with the back of a spoon, making sure it is compact. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Filling
- Blend raspberries in food processor and set aside.
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a high-speed blender and blitz for several minutes until smooth and creamy with no lumps. Pour the mixture into the cake pan and place back in the fridge to set for a minimum of 5 hours (or overnight if preferred).
Serving and storage
Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the cake tin by lifting the bottom of the pan. Top with fresh berries such as strawberries and raspberries or fresh fruit of your choice.
Use a hot wet sharp knife to slice the cheesecake into portions before serving.
Place the cheesecake in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to a couple of months. I recommend first slicing the cheesecake into individual portions so that you can defrost them as needed. Then just allow them to sit at room temperature for an hour before serving.
