In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I made a to-die-for all raw key lime cheesecake.
RAW Key Lime Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (raw, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 dates, pitted
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 cups cashews (soaked for about 30 minutes)
- 1 avocado
- 3/4 cup key lime juice
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut water (or plain)
- 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil/butter
- 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- (1/2 teaspoon of spirulina if you want a more vibrant green)
Instructions
For the crust:
- Put the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until crumbly and sticking together a bit.
- Dump the contents into the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan and press down until the entire bottom is evenly covered.
- Place in freezer until you are ready to pour the filling on top.
For the filling:
- Place everything save the coconut, vanilla, and salt into a high speed blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until everything is incorporated, but do not over blend.
- Pour the filling atop the crust and then place the pie into the freezer for 2-3 hours.
- Move to the frig and keep there until ready to eat.
I noticed that it got tastier as time passed. The next day and even the second day it was best, though I doubt you can wait that long.
It is so sweet and creamy and soft with just the right amount of lime-y taste. Divine. I could eat the entire thing in one sitting.
YUM
Can you use almonds instead of the other nuts? 🙂
Hmm that's a great question! I love almonds and I love that they are so full of nutrients. You can try it, and I think that any nut will provide a thick consistency, but I'm not quite sure how it will compare to the cashews. The cashews turn very creamy and provide such a light flavor that you can manipulate it into almost anything you want! Almonds have a distinct "nutty" taste, are darker, and may have a different consistency … though it may still be an excellent option! Give it a try, and then come back here and let me know!! I will have to try it out as well so I can have definitive alternatives for you!
I LOVE this dessert. I made it for my husband and I a while back, and whenever I ask him what he would like me to make he says the Key Lime Pie 🙂
oh my goodness this makes me so happy!! Isn't it just delicious?? My husband loves it too, it's a raw version of his favorite dish. Thanks for sharing!!
