RAW LEMON CHEESECAKE

There is no dairy in this cheesecake .
Cashews and coconut cream making the filling on a nut , date and chia base , ( the combination of which can make you feel full longer ).
Grease a 22cm spring form pan with coconut oil .
Place 200gm of macadamia nuts , 12 pitted medjool dates and 2 tbs of white chia seeds  in  the bowl of a processor and pulse till finely chopped .
Using your hands press the mix into the base of of your prepared tin.
Place in the freezer .
Clean the bowl of your processor and place 450gm of cashews along with 270ml of coconut cream , 1/3rd of a cup of coconut oil , 2tbs of maple syrup , the juice of 2 lemons and the grated zest of 2 lemons.
Process for 5 minutes until a smooth paste forms .
Pour over the base and smooth the surface .
Freeze for 2 hours or overnight .
Remove from the freezer for 15 minutes before serving
Decorate sparsely with candied citrus peel or a drizzle of passionfruit pulp .
I made this raw cheesecake  for class and added raw cacoa and made it in several tiny flans .

I let  the mini cheesecakes set and then joined them in a log formation .


Froze the log and prior to serving I sliced the log in half lengthwise and topped with natural passionfruit pulp and fresh berries .
