Raw Cheezecake!

yep! you read that right...i made raw vegan cheezecake this weekend and i LOVED IT!!! Seriously--i told Jesse this was by far my favorite of all of the yummy raw and vegan desserts we have made so far!!! YUMMMM!!!! you must try it!! so easy!!


Raw Cheezecake

First, i worked on the crust...walnuts, raisins and a bit of cocoa to make a chocolate crust


walnuts...



raisins...



cocoa...



...processed into a chocolate crust...

CHEEZECAKE FILLING

first i processed bananas and cashews...



and added lemon juice and zest





time to pour into the crust!




after this, i froze the cake for a couple hours then allowed it to thaw a little in the fridge for another hour or so...before enjoying, i made the topping...

TOPPING

SO easy...simply chop up some fresh strawberries



and process!




...the cheezecake...



this was a wonderful cheezecake...it is very nutty and lemony but it totally did it for me! and the cold smoothness of the cheezecake mixed with the strawberry topping and chocolate crust...so yum.

im excited about the variations of this recipe i can make...blueberry swirl cheezecake...chocolate cheezecake...etc....
