Prep Time30 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • For the crust
  • 2 cups pecans
  • 1 1/4 cups pitted dates
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • For the cheesecake
  • 2 cups cashews soaked for 10-12 hours
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk shaken
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled (use refined coconut oil if you want no coconut flavor)
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add the pecans, dates and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until it comes together into a sticky dough, with small pecan bits remaining, about 1 full minute.
  • Press the pecan date mixture evenly along the bottom of the the pan size of your choice. Set aside.
  • To make the cheesecake, in a high-powered blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy. You may need to add a bit more coconut milk or lemon juice to get it to blend smoothly if your blender isn’t super high-powered. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tartness if needed.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and s with a rubber spatula. Tap the pan hard against the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Place it in the freezer to set for 2-3 hours or until completely firm before serving.
