Instructions
- Soak the cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes before starting to make the cheesecake.
- Line a 6 inch (15 cm) springform or round cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with coconut oil. Set aside.
- Add the mixed nuts, pitted dates, coconut oil, vanilla extract and pink salt to a food processor and process until it comes together into a sticky "dough". There should still be small pieces of nuts visible in the mixture.
- Spoon the base "dough" into your prepared springform or cake pan and, using your fingers covered in coconut oil, press the base down as even as you can. Cover and place in the freezer to set.
- To make the cheesecake mixture, add all of the cheesecake ingredients (except the blueberries) to a high-speed blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Reserve half the mixture for later.
- Pour the remaining half of the mixture over the base and gently tap the cake pan around the edges to smooth out the surface. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours to set.
- Once the first layer has set, blend the reserved cheesecake mixture with the blueberries until completely smooth and slightly purple. Pour the blueberry layer over the first layer, cover and freeze until completely set (minimum 3 hours or overnight).
- To remove the cheesecake from the pan, run some hot water over a kitchen towel until it is soaked and wrap it around the pan for one minute. This will melt the outside of the cheesecake and make it very easy to remove.
- Slice, serve your vegan blueberry cheesecake with your favourite toppings and enjoy!
