Healthy Blueberry Vanilla Cheesecake without Cream Cheese
Blueberry season is here and I have the perfect healthy blueberry cheesecake with no cream cheese! My gorgeous double layered vegan blueberry vanilla cheesecake recipe is a show stopper! And guess what it is totally no bake and healthy for you.
**BEFORE YOU START** this is an overnight recipe. You will soak the cashews in water overnight. This allows you to get that creamy cheesecake like texture. Line a 9" spring form pan with parchment paper. The parchment paper helps a lot with getting the cheesecake out of the pan after it has been frozen.Put the dates in with the cashews to soften a bit while you prepare the crust.
For the crust:
Food process the dates and almonds, or the dates and almond flour to the texture that you like.
Press the crust into the bottom of your prepared spring form pan.
For the vanilla layer:
In a blender combine the 2 cups of soaked cashes, ½ cup coconut milk, 5 softened dates, juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Puree completely. Depending on the strength of your blender, this may take up to 10 minutes.
Pour half the mixture over the base. Place in the freezer ~30 mins to set.
For the blueberry layer:
Add the 1 cup of blueberries to your blender with the remaining mixture. Blend to puree completely.Pour the blueberry layer over the vanilla layer.
Freeze overnight to set completely.
Slice and allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before eating for the best texture.
Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
*If you like a heartier crust, use 1 cup of almonds with 1 cup of dates. If you like more of a classic cheesecake crust texture, use 1 cup of almond flour and ½ cup of dates. Or, you can combine ½ cup almonds, ½ cup almond flour, and 1 cup of dates.**In a pinch, you can soak the cashews for ~1 hour in hot water instead of overnightNutritional information is only an estimate.
