For the crust 8 medjool dates (cooked in sauce pan for 5-10 minuets) 1 cup pecans For blueberry cheesecake layer 1 cup cashews (soaked for at least four or five hours) 2 tbsp or more fresh blueberries 2 tbsp coconut oil 2 tbsp organic maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla essence Juice from 1/2 of a lime Directions For the crust 1. Pulse pecans and soaked medjool dates in a food processor or blender. (Tip: we like to mash the medjool dates with a fork before placing in the processor so they mix easier!) 2. Press crust mixture into baking tray at least 1-2 inches thick and place in freezer while you prepare the cheesecake layer. For the cheesecake layer 1. Put soaked cashews, soaked medjool dates, blueberries, lime juice, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a processor and blend until the mixture becomes creamy. The mixture may seem really soft when done, so you can place it in the fridge for a few minutes to solidify. 2. Take crust out of freezer and pour cheesecake mixture evenly over the top. Place fresh blueberries on top or additional toppings (cacao nibs or coconut flakes would be delicious!) Return to freezer for at least two hours. 3. Cut into slices and enjoy!
