Citrus Burst Cheesecake

Friends of ours are having a garden party to celebrate their engagement on the weekend. I have made this Citrus Burst Cheesecake for the occasion.

Like all my cheesecakes it is raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. If you are a fan of lemon or lime you will adore this dessert.

Enjoy.

Ingredients:

Base:

• 2 cups almonds
• 10 - 15 medjool dates
• 2 tbsp water

Lemon Layer:

• 2 cups cashews
• 1 can of coconut cream or milk
• Up to 1 cup of lemon juice (depending on how citrusy you like it)
• 2 tbsp sweetener. I use rice malt syrup or coconut nectar
• 1 tsp turmeric

Lime Layer:

• 5 avocados
• 3 whole limes (skin peeled)
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions:

Base:

1. Place nuts and dates into a blender and pulse until well combined. Slowly add the water whilst continuing to pulse. The mixture should form a clumped ball.
2. Press into the bottom of a cake tin and place in the freezer.

Lemon Layer:

1. Add all of the ingredients into the food processor except for the lemon juice. Pulse until well combined and a smooth consistency is formed. Slowly add the lemon juice in, and taste test as you go. You may not want a full cup of lemon juice.
2. Pour this mixture over the base layer and evenly spread out. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Lime Layer:

1. Add all the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until well combined and a thick runny mixture is formed.
2. Pour this layer onto the lemon layer. Freeze for a further 1 - 2 hours

Notes:

1. Decorate with thin slices of lime.
2. Place in the fridge 2 hours before serving.
