Raw Vegan Lemon-Cheesecake with Wild Blueberries

in #vegan6 years ago

Wild blueberries kind of grew on me since I harvested them in the glades of the Beskid Islands mountain range in Poland where they grow in vast amounts.

Although there are collecting apparatus with special combs, in Poland they are prohibited in public places with the claim of damaging the bushes.

After hours of handpicking without overexploiting nature, finally my first jar.

So naturally I had to take a rest in the blueberry bushes afterwards.

As with most ingredients, the smaller wild blueberries are more aromatic than their larger American counterparts available commercially.

So let’s process this cute little memory boosters which are rich in anthocyanins into a delicious and delightful dessert.

Serves 16

⏱ 40 minutes, 2 hours for chilling

Dough

  • 240 g pecan nuts
  • 35 g raisins
  • ⅛ t sea salt

Mix all the ingredients in the food processor for about 30 second, just enough to bind but short enough so that the nut oil does not separate.

Put the dough in a form which you have outlaid with a backing paper before.

Put nuts, raisins, dates, salt, and flakes into the food processor and process into a coarse and slightly sticky mixture, about as long as the dough.

Put all ingredients except blueberries and lecithin in a blender and mix creamy.

Finally cover the cake with the topping.

Now chill the cake for two hours in the fridge.
Then carefully lift the cake out of the pan.

Cut in pieces and serve this crunchy, sour, sweet treat. But don’t forget, it’s even healthier when you worked out before😅

Yum! Food foraged from nature s always so much tastier, more satisfying and more nourishing than store-bought. Beautiful way to use wild blueberries!

Yummy! Your blueberry picking was rewarding then! 😊 It would be much easier if you could use that comb. I've seen that before and it really does damage the bushes so I understand why it's forbidden now. Great recipe!

It really is, keeps your greed in place :) Also it is more fun picking them one by one.
