Raw Matcha Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 6 dried pitted Iranian dates, soaked in water for 10 minutes
- 3/4 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup honey (substitute with Maple syrup or Brown rice syrup for vegan)
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours in water and then drained
- 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, liquid
- 1 tbsp [matcha (green tea) powder
Instructions
- In a food processor with an "S" blade, process the almonds and desiccated coconut together until it reaches a fine breadcrumb-like consistency.
- Add the dates and process a little more.
- If the mixture is not coming together, add 1-2 teaspoons of water and process until the mixture starts to become sticky. You can test this by pressing the mix against the side of the food processor bowl.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 22cm springform tin. Using the back of a dessert spoon, smooth it down until it's nice and even.
- In a high speed blender (or food processor), blend the coconut cream, honey, cashews and coconut oil until silky smooth.
- Add the matcha powder and blend again briefly until combined.
- Pour into the springform tin, cover and freeze for 2 hours or until set.
- Remove from freezer for 15-20 minutes prior to eating.

Sorry, this recipe isn’t vegan because of the honey.
It is when you sub the honey with another sweetener 🙂
