Cheesecake is a dessert loved by everyone, regardless of age. It is typically made with cheese and milk, which is a problem for vegans. Today, we present you with a recipe for a vegan cheesecake that is so delicious that you might never want to try another one!  

Ingredients: 

Crust 

  • 1/2 cup pistachios (or other nuts/seeds) 
  • 3 dates, pitted 

Filling 

  • 1 cup cashews, soaked for 2 hours or longer 
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder 
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil 
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup 
  • 1/2 lime, juiced 
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk 

Instructions: 

For the crust:  

  1. Process every ingredient for the crust in a food processor until you get fine crumbles.  
  2. Take a 4-inch pan and put parchment paper in it. Pour the mixture and let it cool in the freezer. In the meanwhile, start with preparations for the filing.  

For the filling:  

  1. Put the cashews (rinsed and drained) along with the other ingredients in a blender or a food processor until they’re smooth and homogeneous.  
  2. When the crust is well cooled, put the filling on top of it. Put it back in the freezer for another 2 hours so that the fill can properly solidify.  

Enjoy!
