An old coworker gave me this recipe and it is one of my favorite "healthy" desserts as of late. It's pretty easy to make, but is best made a day in advance.
Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups almonds
1 cup dates
"Cheese":
3 cups cashews (soaked for at least an hour)
3/4 cup raw honey
3/4 cup coconut oil (should be in liquid form)
1 1/4 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional berry sauce:
3 cups frozen berries
1/4 cup honey
Place the almonds and dates in a food processor and process until fine. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.
Put all of the "cheese" ingredients in the food processor or a Vitamix (make sure the coconut oil is melted first) and process at high speed until very smooth. Adjust to taste.
Pour the mixture onto the crust. Tap the pan on your countertop a few times to remove any air bubbles.
Put the "cheesecake" in the freezer until firm, at least three hours but if possible overnight.
Transfer "cheesecake" to the fridge for at least an hour before eating.
To make the berry sauce, blend or process ingredients until smooth, and adjust to taste. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and spoon a couple of tablespoons onto slices when serving.
Enjoy!
