I think the love that I love the most about raw vegan cheesecakes is their versatility. Once you have a good reliable base recipe, the variations are indeed endless.
This combination, albeit a little unique, works so beautifully. Sweet, a little salty, aromatic spices from the base, creamy, decadent yet not too rich; it’s a winner.
Have fun with this one, I hope you love it.

2 cups soaked cashews- soaked for at least 4 hours then strained and rinsed
2 cups strawberries chopped
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons coconut yogurt
1/2 cup maple syrup
