HOW TO MAKE NO BAKE HEALTHY VANILLA BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE WITHOUT CREAM CHEESE
STEP 1: SOAK CASHEWS OVERNIGHT
BEFORE YOU START: Make sure you have soaked your cashews overnight! This allows you to blend them into that creamy cheesecake like texture!
How to soak the cashews
I usually add mine to a glass container and then cover the cashews completely with cool filtered water. Then, I store it in the fridge overnight. If it is not too hot where you live, you can store them on the counter covered.
In a pinch, you can soak the cashews for 1 hour in boiling hot water. But, I have noticed that the texture never comes out to be as creamy as it does when I soak the cashews overnight.
Step 2: Prepare the crust
While you are making your crust, add your dates to a bowl with warm water to soften. This allows them to blend into the creamy texture easily.
Combine the almonds and dates in a blender or food processor. If you are looking for more of a classic cheesecake crust texture, you can instead combine ½ cup of dates with 1 cup of almond flour.
Either way you make it, the texture will look really crumbly. But, when you press into the spring form pan, it will come together. Press the entire mixture onto the bottom of a spring form pan.
NOTE: line your spring form pan with parchment paper for an easier time getting the cheesecake out after you have frozen it.
A spring form pan is so useful in this recipe since the sides are removable! You don’t have to worry about the cheesecake falling apart as you lift it from your pan. And what is even better, you can completely transfer it to a different plate if you are entertaining guests and want to make it look fancy!
Step 3: Make the healthy blueberry cheesecake filling
Layer 1 (vanilla): In a blender add the 2 cups soaked cashews, ½ cup coconut milk, ½ cup soaked dates, juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour half of your mixture on top of the crust. Cover and place in the freezer at least 30 minutes.
Layer 2 (blueberry): To make the next layer, add 1 cup of blueberries to the remainder of the cheesecake mixture. Process until smooth. Pour the blueberry cheesecake mixture over the vanilla layer. Place this back in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Step 4: Thaw and enjoy!
Thaw your cheesecake at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving. I recommend cutting all the pieces at once and dividing it into separate containers if you’re going to be enjoying it at home. You can then store them in the freezer for up to a month in airtight containers.
Enjoy this topped with fresh blueberries or other fresh fruit!
