How to Make

  • Step 2: Pulse all the ingredients for the base in a food processor until everything is very finely chopped and the mixture starts to form a ball (you may need to add 1-2 tablespoon of wate3r to help the mixture along).

  • Step 3: Transfer to the prepared tin a press down firmly and evenly to completely cover the base.

  • Step 4: For the filling, place the drained cashews, coconut oil, lemon zest and juice and maple syrup in a clean food processor and blend for 2 to 3 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy.

  • Step 5: Pour into the cake tin over the base and level the surface with a palette3 knife and then scatter the blueberries over the top and press then lightly into the mixture.

  • Step 6: Freeze for 2-3 hours, or until just firmly set.

  • Step 7: Using the overhanging baking paper, carefully lift the cheesecake out of the tin and on to a serving plaste.

  • Step 8: Cut into 12 pieces and serve immediately.
