Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake

Cheesecake is one of those comfort foods that we all love to enjoy with a warm cup of tea after dinner. After cutting out dairy, there are a lot of foods that you might worry you will no longer be able to indulge in, but cheesecake is not one of them! Beware, this is based on a lot of nuts. This means that it's definitely not going to be low in fat. It is however, completely devoid of all the gross things hidden in dairy cheesecake. Here is an attractive Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake recipe you can try:


What you'll need:

Crust:
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 3-4 dates
Filling:
  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 1/2 cup agave
  • 2 1/2 cups cashew butter
  • 3/4 cup coconut butter
  • 4 lemons (juiced)
What to do:
  1. To prepare the crust, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and mix them until everything is a fairly fine powder. It should stick together when pressed, if it falls apart, add filtered water 1-2 tablespoons at a time.
  2. Press the crust into the bottom of a pan. Spring form pans are great for presentation, but if you don't have one, any cake pan will do!
  3. To prepare the filling just process everything in your food processor.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust and form it using a spatula.
  5. Place in the fridge or freezer to set for at least 30 minutes.
