Wow! I have the crust in the freezer. The filling is in my food processor. And it taste really good. I only used a 1/2 cup lemon juice. I almost always use less lemon than any recipe calls for. I am blending until the processor gets a bit warm, then letting it sit and blending some more. I also soaked the cashews for a few hours. It may never get completely smooth, but I'll just say it's cheesecake with nuts blended it for texture ;). Nobody will know how true that is - lol.

Just put this in the fridge, my husband and I licked the spatula and it tastes exactly like cheesecake! Amazing! We are bringing this to both of our parent's homes tomorrow for Easter and want to see what they think of it! So psyched to try the entire thing tomorrow!

I would like to try and make your moist spongy rolls but is psylium husks raw? as I am converting to 100% raw.

Have been making your brownie recipe with some variations for a while now. I only have a food processor but decided to try the cheesecake anyway. Macadamia nuts were impossible to find so mixed pecans, walnuts and dates for crust. Soaked cashews overnight and did not have to add any water. It's setting up in the freezer now, so this evening will be the taste test. Thanks for the easy and tasty (the chef gets to lick the bowl!) recipes!

I have made this dessert twice and both times it was the hit of the evening. The first time was at the last class of a "Get Healthy, Stay Balanced" program and all the people were into vegan and raw food. I was named "dessert queen". It was picked as the best item at the dinner. The second time I took it to my church's Life Group meeting where no one except me was a vegan or a raw food eater. Everyone loved it and was so surprised to learn that it was raw and non dairy. My Life Group leader wrote me today that both the things I brought last night were so good and she would like the recipes or the website link where I found them. I will give her both the recipe for this and your website.

Thank you so much for this recipe. It is so awesome!!!!!!

great ideas! quick question..is youre raw food organics or biodynamic? just some FYI for you "vegans" out there.. if u arent growing your own organics or go to a co-op then everything u r eating is genetically modified. which means it contains animal byproducts and viruses like e.coli which ONLY come from cows being fed corn. cashews as well as all nuts are DEAD. not raw..even if labeled as such. Monsanto got a hold of organics. if nobody knows what im talking about well no surprise..only americans are ignorant ones left just cause this is the country the elite decided to use as guniea pigs. do your research and STOP CISPA AND MONSANTO. the CDC released a zombie warning not too long ago.. seems crazy? it would cus they desensitized us thru movies. i dont care if nobody believes me. im just tired of reading so many recipes n posts n its like americas are clueless to whats happening with our food n rights!!... Europe has banned GMOS n we here are too trusting. watch too much tv. living vicariously. soon it will hit the fan. im living off the grid..soon ill have my own community. i urge everyone to consider simply what i say n do thier own research before they take away MORE OF OUR RIGHT by taking the internet...just google n youtube what im saying instead of dancing babies or that illuminati puppet lady gaga or beyonce. connect the dots.. vigilantcitizen.com is a good site. shop co-ops! support local ORGANIC farmers! stop supporting federally funded n monsanto owned whole foods an walmart..monsanto bought organics. zombies come from vaccines, GMO, homogenized and pasteurization, HEAVY METALS like aluminum n mercury found in high fructose corn syrup. autism is a result of ignorance. not to be taken offensive. but thats the real truth. i know.. i was once "autistic". detoxification from heavy metals, mold intoxification, etc.. n colonix plus raw dairy n kefir grains. now THEY want to call me a genius..and when asked how..well lets say now they call me crazy.. well THEY are ignorant. doctors in this country dont know CRAP! ill bet anything i can heal you before any doctor..from ANYTHING. i have bloodtests! which u can also do on yourown without doctors orders and cheaper! privatemdlabs.com without chemical drugs or surgery..just ask India. or Canada.. or ask why this country has something called Codex Alimentarus. which rids holistic care, herbal uses and the right for us to grow our own food in our own backyard..of course u guys dont know this..the same system calling people like me autistic, then geniuses, then crazy for unlocking the truth n healing myself is the same system telling u that you need pills for symptoms! symptoms need to happen! is how u know youre body is healing. its not the docs fault. its the education system..some have good intentions but are being paid well to giveaway zoloft and statin when they arent even qualified. well watch food matters and the beautiful truth. start from there n dont accept demise. especially if its supposedly being blamed on your body. dont victimize n sell out your soul. its a war for your mind n what they want. have faith in your body..if given the right tools itll heal itself from EVERYTHING. THOSE WHO ARE DAMNED ARE, BUT BY THEIR OWN HAND. blood electrification cures aids which was made by the nazis, n hitler wasnt a jew. he was a rotchild. the ones who startes the banking system and the federal reserve PRIVATE BANK which americans aren't questioning HOW AND WHY they own n congress doesnt. we are all stocks. soon they will knock to collect..will u be ready? or go to the holocaust camps? i mean FEMA! blood electrification..itll also rid u of parasit,es and decalcify your pineal gland frm all that tv and fluoride...then itll be clearer n more obvious. im only a messenger. you dont have to know all these details or conspiracies. but what u should know is theres more to life then this physicality. just WANT more out of life n question. n u will see with faith the knowledge will come to u and things will fall into place..but dont conform n say u are sick or autistic or use their labels. we create our own world and destiny. through our thoughts n actions. another thing u have to know is the true meaning of words.. how many of u read the word conspiracy n automatically thought crazy or denial? ooo well.. look up that word..see the true meaning of things before thinking opinions that arent even your own..our government is a conspiracy..thats enough proof to investigate n connect dots. they are dependant on our ignorance..its y heyre trying to gwt rid of the internet with CISPA up to vote TODAY..consider then think... spread truth n love..it is the only thing that is real. this world is just illusion always trying to change u. know your food guys...itll connect u to EVERYTHING. follow the money like Jessr Vantura says..its a reason he was censored on Bravo =} im just a messengerhere to educate a gypsy if u will. if anyone would like to contact me or ask me ANYTHING without hatemail..vanessa_zephyr@hotmail. i help those who want it or can guide those needing more answers. im not a cult.just one of the few real humans left. dont mistake my passion for pretentious. we are all co-existing here. i just have a sense of urgency.

This is one of my first raw adventures, and definitely the most involved so bear with me. Currently my cheesecake is in the freezer while I'm struggling with the topping. Do you wait for the strawberries to thaw? My food processer is having a really hard time with the frozen berries and dates and it's kind of scaring me! I added the 1/4 cup of water that I didn't use for the filling and that helped, but I don't know if I should let the strawberries thaw a little more or add more liquid. Please help! BTW this is a test run for a party I'm throwing, my daughter's 1st birthday :-)

I LOVE this! I've made it a few times, and can't get enough! I used your other pie crust recipe instead because macadamia nuts are difficult to find here. Still delicious! I also made it into individual portions using a muffin tin and I recently found some really cute tiny (1/4 cup) ramekins to make individual cheesecake cups. I haven't had a chance to share with anyone yet, but plan to bring some to a friend for her birthday next week. Thanks so much Laura-Jane for this recipe! :)

omg i being having aproblem with cheesecake this whole weekend im not necessaryli vegan or anything i was just looking for a better alternative to it is this healthy enough not to go directly to my gut?

thank you for sharing this recipe...this 'cheesecake' is absolutely divine & will never go back to the traditional recipes ever again! although i haven't got a power blender & used the food processor, this worked just fine requiring no water whatsoever.

Hi, I was just wondering, did you use the virgin or extra virgin coconut oil?

Hi there i just made this and it is soooo yummy . i followed another persons comment and added cocoa instead of lemon. so creamy and delicious . will try the lemon one next time for sure! Love it

heres how mine turned out :) thanks for the recipe

I love this recipe. I made it for my grandson's birthday and it was such a wonderful thing to see everyone eating raw and loving it.
They kept saying is this really raw?
So now I have a question about raw. I am new to the raw living but I have been eating/using freeze dried fruits and veggies for some time. Are they considered raw?? It would sure be easier for people to have foods they could use if freeze dried strawberries and mango etc. we available all year round without having to go to the store to get things all the time.
Thanks, and looking forward to using more of your recipes!

Very beautiful and delicious! Looks very professional. I’m gonna try to make it also.

Woo hoo! I am back into your website after several months of ... well what are my excuses - a busy life (?!) lack of inspiration in the kitchen... Buy boy am I back in with success.

Yesterday saw the creation of your raw veggie burgers (a friend has a dehydrator so another woo hoo!) and this cheesecake as I've been going through a cheesecake fetish recently so I knew I needed to make my own in order to be satisfied! Happy days - my husband was excited even just looking at it when I was cutting it and friends so aren't so into the raw food tasted both the burgers and cake yesterday and were impressed.

I have been able to cut it straight out of the freezer and was really surprised at how easy it was to cut without having to leave it in the fridge for anytime. Actually, living in the tropics I think it needs to come straight out of the freezer. The only bit that has gone a little icy is the strawberry topping so next time I might add that from the fridge when I'm about to serve it. It is an amazing texture, huge wows all round.

Thankfully cashews are the cheapest nuts for me to buy and I made the base with a mixture of walnuts and cashews and actually added a bit of coconut to the mixture as I got such a huge bag for such a cheap price from the market. I am going to create a chocolate one soon and am thinking of adding either cinnamon or nutmeg to the base, obviously cacao instead of the lemon to the filling and doing your chocolate icing for the top... Watch this space.

I want to add a photo of my cheesecake but not sure if there's anyway of doing so? It just looks so nice!

Thank you for your website. It is truly great. I love your recipes and they always get me inspired.

What is the longest time you can freeze the cheesecake before serving. I was thinking of making this cheesecake 2 days before a party - is freezing for 48 hours too long?

What if you can't have cashews? Is there anything else that exists on the planet I can use as a cheese substitute? I am newly allergic to cashews and peanuts. Btw, I am LOVING this blog. I am so stoked that you have all these recipes up just waiting to be tried! I went raw today. It's kinda nuts! (no pun intended)

I love raw food!!! I feel so clean after eating and is so healthy.
Love this website!

Wow! This cheesecake is simply stunning! Easily the best cheesecake I have ever tasted, and much easier to make than any cooked cheesecake recipe. Its utterly perfect. I followed the recipe exactly (but made only 1/3 of the amount as there's just me at home) except for the topping, as I didn't have any strawberries. I subbed them with frozen summer fruits ( blackberries, raspberries, black- and redcurrants) and added just a splash of water to make a smooth texture, and I used 1/2 the amount given in the recipe for the topping, instead of 1/3. It came out nicely thick and very delicious!

I am looking forward to making this recipe but need a substitute for agave/honey. Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking artichoke, maple, or rice syrup. I would love your input before I begin!

This recipe is amazing! Having been 100% raw for over a month now, I did however find it a bit too sweet. When you get used to zero sugar in your diet, The Agave syrup, can be a bit overpowering. When I make it again I think I will reduce the amount of Agave. The test was trying it on my 24yr old, Tree Surgeon, son. Who isa real meat and two veg man. He loved it. Not quite sure he understood the concept, but hey, it's the healthiest thing that's passed his lips since I spoon fed him as a child:)

This Recipe is absolutely DIVINE! it even tastes much better than any "non-raw" cheesecake that i have tried! thanks!

loved the taste! how do you get the cheese filling to be so white? my turned out a caramel color. also the strawberry became runny and melted really fast once out of the freezer. thanks.

How long can you keep this cheesecake in the freezer? It was so delicious but made a large cheesecake-Any tips would be great...Thanks for the great recipe!
