Get ready to have your taste buds blown away by this Strawberry Cashew Cheesecake! 🍓🍰

The crust, made with California dates and nuts, adds a delightful crunch, while the cashews create a super creamy consistency when blended. 😋

INGREDIENTS:
👉 2 cups pitted California dates (lightly packed)
👉 1/2 cup shredded coconut
👉 1 cup walnuts
👉 2 cups cashews (soaked overnight)
👉 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (just the cream)
👉 1/4 cup maple syrup
👉 1 tsp vanilla extract
👉 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
👉 2 cups strawberries

INSTRUCTIONS:

✅ Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.

✅ Add pitted dates, shredded coconut, and walnuts to a food processor. Process together until a dough-like mixture forms.

✅ Add the dough mixture to the pan and press until it evenly coats the bottom. It will be sticky so some water on your fingers should help!

✅ Place in the freezer while you make the cheesecake filling.

✅ Add cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth. If it's too thick to blend well, add some of the coconut milk liquid until it can blend properly.

✅ Add about half to the pan and distribute evenly with a spatula. Add the strawberries to the other half of the mixture in the blender and blend again until smooth.

✅ Add to the pan and distribute evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until completely frozen.

✅ Once frozen, cut into 16 bars.
