Raw Strawberry Cheesecake

February 11, 2014 | Desserts, No-bake Sweets

Vegan Strawberry cheesecake

Valentines Day is upon us, so I thought I’d share this easy to prepare low-fructose, gluten free raw vegan strawberry cheesecake.  Nothing says I love you like chocolate and strawberries…or this delicious, healthy dessert.

A treat that is also nourishing!

Yep, this is so healthy, you serve it up to your loved one for breakfast! The base is a combination of nuts and flaxseed for healthy oils, minerals and fibre. The cacao contributes antioxidant rich chocolate flavour and the coconut products are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and healing to the digestive system. The filling is a dairy free combination of cashew nuts (more essential minerals, protein, fats and fibre), highly nutritious coconut water and antioxidant-rich strawberries.

If you’re looking to save money across pantry items such as nuts, seeds, flours and meals, I personally shop at The Wholefood Collective – great whole foods at heavily discounted prices (all home delivered), click HERE to check them out.

Strawberry cream filling

  • Add the strawberries and process again.
  • Add the chia, vanilla, and  coconut water and process until smooth.
  • Assemble in a small glass by pressing the chocolate base into the glass and top with the strawberry cream.

    Can I use macadamia nuts instead of cashews?? If so do they need soaking too? Thanks!
