Vegandessertcontest: Raw Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe

in #food7 years ago

Who sais that a cake must be fattening and unhealthy?

I love sweets and I used to feel guilty everytime I ate cakes or cookies. Since I became vegan, I found out that cakes don't necessarily need to be unhealthy, in fact, they can be extremely healthy and even boost your immune system because of their high nutrient content.

This blueberry cheese cake is one of my favorites! You can't go wrong with this one, for sure, no matter if you are vegan or not.

Recipe

Base:
4 handful of dates
2 cups walnuts
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

(You can use any kind of seeds or nuts, according to your taste)

Cream:
2 cups cashews
1 cup coconut oil
5 1/2 agave syrup
1 1/2 cup blueberries

Soak the cashews for 2-3 hours, then rins and drain them.
For the base, put all the ingredients in the food processer and blend them until it is well combined and formes a ball. Put parchment paper in a container, let it go above the sides, so you will be able to pull it out later. Pour the base mixture on the parchment paper and press it down. Put it in the freezer while you are preparing the cream.
For the cheese cake filling put all the ingredients in the blender and mix them until smooth, then poure it on the top of the base. Put it in the fridge and let it there for 5-6 hours before you cut it, otherwise it will be too soft.

Even my non-vegan family loves this cake coz it's simply extremely delicious. Althaugh I follow a low-fat, plant-based diet, every now and then I can have one piece of it. Usually I prepare the cake, cut it in pieces, put them in the freezer and take out a piece whenever I feel like eating one. It becomes soft quite quickly.

Thanks for the contest to @deliciousplants, this is such a great idea! I definitely motivates and inspires people to eat healthier and be more creative if it's about dessert.
