Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 cups raw cashews, soaked overnight
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup (to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Fresh raspberries for topping
- Lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the vegan graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the cashews with coconut cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly. Freeze the cheesecake for at least 240 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Raspberry Layer: In a saucepan, combine raspberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then let it cool.
- Top the Cheesecake: Once the cheesecake has set, spread the raspberry layer over the top. Refrigerate for another hour.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon zest, then slice and serve.
