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.

This can be done on a food processor?

It's best made in a blender if you have one. It will get smoother that way :)

Anna Costanza's Review

Raw chocolate cheesecake recipe
5
5 out of 5

Supreme, but would like it perfect: I realized the coconut oil I used is 'odorless', still organic, should I have the version of coconut oil with a coconut flavour? Also, my chocolate cheese cake has a 'strong' lemon back hint (who might even lead to think is acid cream :-( ). Is this part of it or is due to the oil issue and the fact that I used agave syrup instead of maple?

Thanks, Anna

Hi Anna,

Thanks for your note.

Using flavorless, odorless coconut oil is fine. It doesn't really have a coconut taste, period.

It definitely has a strong lemon taste, that is intentional. :)

Hi! Should you soak the cashews overnight before using them?

Hi Georgia,

Short answer: not necessary.

The main exception to this is if your blender is very dull and crappy, then I would suggest soaking the cashews overnight in warm water to soften them and make it easier for them to blend. Then drain, rinse clean and briefly pat dry with a tea towel and use them in the recipe.

If you have a very good newer blender that can handle nuts, then you don't have to bother. Example: Vitamix or Blendtec etc.

I have a Vitamix S30 and yet I think I'm going to soak the cashews next time I make this.

I don't know if it's because the S30 is the smallest model, but my Vitamix got hung up and I couldn't finish blending the cashews. When it gets hung up, the Vitamix doesn't restart until after 45 minutes, so I left the mixture a bit chunky.

Bummer! Usually, if the mixture starts to get hung up, I immediately turn off the blender and, using a spatular or spoon, I create an air pocket down the inside of the carafe. (So that the blades have some air hitting them.) Remove the spatula, replace lid and start blending again.

Usually this will help avoid getting to that "no restart" point :)

So yummy!
I love the chocolate - coconut flavour it has.
I prefer to soak the cashews so I only used half a cup of water and it turned great and probably took less time in the freezer.. :)

What about agave instead of maple? Is it a question of texture or taste? thanks

Hi Anna! Either works :) I have a slight preference for maple syrup flavorwise, but it's really just a matter of taste. No biggie either way.
