Raspberry Vegan Cheesecake
This vegan cheesecake recipe requires each layer to be frozen before adding the next, so it's best to prep this at least one day before you would like to serve it.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse the walnuts, dates, coconut oil and salt together until crumbly. Line an 8x4” loaf pan with parchment paper allowing 1 inch of overhang on each side. Press the crust into the bottom of the pan. Freeze for at least ⏱️ 15 minutes, or as long as it takes to get the next layer ready.

Make the cheesecake layer: In a high-powered blender, blend the cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt until completely creamy (about ⏱️ 1 minute). Pour the filling over the crust and smooth until even. Freeze until this layer is completely firm, at least ⏱️ 2 hours. (Alternatively, use a regular blender and blend the ingredients from Cheesecake Option 2, above.)

When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let it thaw for at least ⏱️ 20 minutes. Using the sides of the parchment paper, carefully lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Use a sharp chef’s knife to slice it into 8 to 10 slices. Let the individual slices thaw for an additional 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, until fully thawed so that the middle layer is creamy and the raspberry layer is less icy. Re-freeze any remaining slices.
