Layered Blueberry Cheesecake (Gluten, Dairy + Sugar Free!)

Total Time: 7 hours
Course: Dessert
Author: Katie Stewart Wellness

Ingredients

For the cheesecake:

  • 3 cups raw cashews soaked 4-12 hours, drained, and rinsed
  • ¾ cup raw honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp unrefined sea salt
  • 1 cup wild blueberries fresh or frozen

For the crust

  • 1 cup medjool dates pitted
  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • Pinch unrefined sea salt

Optional:

  • ½ tsp Hawaiian Spirulina - if creating a layered effect.

Instructions

  • Line a 6” round pan with parchment paper.
  • Add all crust ingredients to the food processor. Pulse until it creates a sticky powder.
  • Evenly press the date and nut mixture into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  • Combine all the remaining ingredients in the food processor or blender (if you want to create a layer effect like I did, don’t add the blueberries yet.)
  • Blend the cashew mixture until smooth. If not layering, pour this mixture on top of the crust.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours to set.
  • Remove from freezer about 20 minutes before serving.

If creating a layered effect:

  • Separate the cashew mixture into three different bowls - pouring a little bit more into one of the bowls (this will be for the blueberry layer)
  • Add the biggest bowl of cashew mixture back to the blender or food pro.
  • Add in the blueberries, blend until smooth, and pour on top of the crust.
  • Wash out the food pro or blender and then add the next bowl of cashew mixture to the food pro along with the spirulina.
  • Blend until smooth and pour on top of the blueberry layer.
  • Pour the remaining white cashew mixture on top for the final layer.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours to set.
  • Remove from freezer about 20 minutes before serving.
