A delicious raw protein cheesecake with acai and blueberry flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dates
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1 cup coconut yoghurt
- 2 cups soaked cashew nuts
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Directions
- To make the base layer, blend the pecans and almonds, maca and dates in a food processor until fine and crumb like. Add a splash of water, and blend again until the mixture begins to stick together.
- Press firmly into muffin tray moulds — you should get about 8 to 10 mini cheesecakes. To make them easier to remove, I first lined the tray with cling film.
- Next spread about 2 tablespoons of coconut yoghurt onto the base of each tartlet, and set aside while you prepare the topping.
- In the same high-powered food processor, combine the lemon juice, soaked cashews, coconut milk, melted coconut oil and maple syrup and blend for about 4-5 minutes until silky. (You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally during this process).
- Add the frozen blueberries and Perform Protein, and blend for about 30 seconds until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Once smooth, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness/tartness if necessary with either more maple syrup or lemon juice.
- Finally add the cheesecake topping to each tartlet and decorate with fresh blueberries.
- Place in the freezer to set for about three hours or until firm before serving. You can store them for up to two weeks — if they last that long!
