Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups cashews
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup water
Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw all ingredients into your high-speed blender and blend, starting very slowly and then increasing the speed. (You may need to stop and start it a bit if your blender is getting hung up. If your blades won't move, turn blender off, create an air pocket down the side with a knife, and then blend again starting on low.) Keep blending until it's very smooth, like a creamy chocolate fudge with no cashew chunks at all.
- 2. Pour mixture into a pan or dish (for example a brownie pan) and place in freezer.
- 3. Freeze until it reaches the desired (firm) consistency (8 hours or so!).
- 4. Store in freezer at all times. To eat, just open the freezer, slice and eat immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This simple, crustless raw vegan chocolate cheesecake is easy and delicious. Sweet, creamy and a perfect chocolate fix. A blender is the only equipment that's required.
Of course, you can make a crust if you feel like you need one, but really there is no need! Unless you like to unecessarily complicate things. :)
This raw cheesecake must be frozen for about 8 hours before being eaten. (It will harden when frozen.)
This raw vegan chocolate cheesecake recipe absolutely must be kept in the freezer until eaten. It will melt very quickly if not.

Hi! I am looking for a dessert I can have at Christmas this year. I’m on a very strict paleo and no coconut/nuts lifestyle. Is there a substitute for the coconut oil or can it be eliminated completely?

Hi,
I’m new to the raw world and very excited to start this new journey.
This recipe calls for maple syrup, is maple syrup considered a raw food? Is there a specific maple syrup that you recommend? Can you substitute the maple syrup for honey instead?
Thank you so much for all the amazing recipes!

Raw chocolate cheesecake recipe
This is an amazing dessert, if you don’t soak your cashews you don’t need to freeze it, it only melts outside of the fridge. It’s easier and more like cheesecake when it’s from the fridge instead of the freezer?
