Layered Blueberry Cheesecake (Gluten, Dairy + Sugar Free!)
Total Time: 7 hours hours
Author: Katie Stewart Wellness
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.
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.
