RAW STRAWBERRY LEMON MYRTLE CHEESECAKE

RAW STRAWBERRY LEMON MYRTLE CHEESECAKE
October 5, 2020

A few months ago I made a strawberry lemon myrtle mousse and it was absolutely divine. Since then, I have wanted to transform the same flavours into a cheesecake, and this was the result. It has a salted carob crust and even though all of those flavours may sound a little odd when placed together, the result is a fresh, light, dreamy, fruity concoction with a hint of chocolate and vanilla in there too! Sound too good to be true? Give this one a try and let me know what you think! I found my lemon myrtle oil at a local market. If you can’t find food-grade lemon myrtle oil, try using half a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest instead.

 

RAW STRAWBERRY & LEMON MYRTLE CHEESECAKE

Base:

  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 cup coconut
  • ½ cup hazelnuts
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon carob powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until the mixture comes together.

Press into an 11-inch springform cake tin and refrigerate until ready to fill.

Filling:

  • 3 cups cashews soaked for 4 hours
  • 1 banana (not overripe)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • 3 drops lemon myrtle essential oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut nectar
  • ¼ cup melted cacao butter
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup coconut milk

Drain the cashews and rinse well.

Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour the cake filling into the base and either set in the freezer for 4-5 hours or in the fridge for 7-8 hours.

When set, slice and enjoy!
