Follow The Directions

01

Step

Soak cashews in a bowl with water to cover, 3 hours to overnight; drain. (3+ hours)

02

Step

Mix almonds, pecans, dates, 2 teaspoons coconut oil, cocoa powder, and salt together in a food processor until finely ground and beginning to form a paste. (1-3 minutes). Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate crust until ready to use.

03

Step

Process cashews in a food processor until finely ground. Add banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract; blend until combined. (2-3 minutes). Add 3/4 cup coconut oil in a thin stream through the feed tube while processor is running until a smooth, thin filling forms. (1-2 minutes). Pour filling into crust and place in the refrigerator until set. (4+ hours)

04

Step

Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat coconut milk in a saucepan until near boiling; pour over chocolate. Whisk until a smooth glaze forms. (2-3 minutes). Pour over cake and refrigerate until set. (30+ minutes)

For a truly raw version, ensure your chocolate is raw and avoid heating the coconut milk – gently melt it in a dehydrator or warm water bath instead.
If you don't have a high-speed food processor, you may need to soak the almonds and pecans for a few hours to ensure a smooth crust.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or fewer dates.
Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cardamom or ginger, for a unique flavor twist.

    Great recipe! My cashew cream layer took a little longer to set, but it was still delicious

  • Ernest Schamberger

    I've made this cake several times, and it's always a hit. It's surprisingly easy to make, and everyone loves it, even those who aren't vegan.

  • Luis Gottlieb

    This cake is a game-changer! I never thought a vegan cheesecake could taste so rich and decadent. The texture is incredibly smooth, and the chocolate glaze is the perfect finishing touch.

  • Thalia Reichel

    The crust is delicious and has a wonderful nutty flavour, the cream is so rich and unctuous, that glaze divine...
