Ingredients
  

Base:

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans
  • 3/4 cups Medjool dates pitted

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 cup soaked and drained cashews soaked in water overnight or for 6 hours
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream the thick part from a full fat can of coconut milk
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Strawberry Sauce:

  • 1 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
 

Base:

  • Add the pecans and pitted dates to a blender or food processor and blend until ingredients are fully combined and form a crumb-like texture.
  • Tightly press the mixture into a 9x9 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Set aside and prepare the Cheesecake Filling.

Cheesecake Filling:

  • Add the soaked cashews, coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take up to 5 minutes depending on your blender.
  • Pour the mixture over the prepared base. Place in the fridge while you prepare the Strawberry Sauce.

Strawberry Sauce:

  • Add fresh or thawed frozen strawberries to a blender along with the maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
  • Add the blended strawberries to a small saucepan. Bring the sauce to a light boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce over your prepared cheesecake and swirl into the mixture with a toothpick or knife.
  • Place the cheesecake into the fridge to firm for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Slice into 36 squares. Store the sliced squares in the fridge or freezer. Let thaw before serving.
