Key Lime Vegan Raw Cheesecake Recipe Recipe

By Peanut Palate

🔪Prep Time: 20 mins

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

For the Crust

¾ cup dry rolled oats

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup desiccated coconut

½ cup medjool dates pitted

1 tsp lime zest fresh

For the Filling

¾ cup raw cashews, boiled

9 tbsp full fat canned coconut milk see substitutions section

3 tbsp refined coconut oil see substitutions section

3 limes, fully juiced

3 tsp lime zest

Dash pink salt

For the Topping

⅓ cup toasted, dessiccated coconut

1 lime, zested

Instructions

1Blend all crust ingredients together until a dough forms.

2Pre-grease the bottom of the tray with extra coconut oil, or use a circular piece of parchment paper. Pat the crust down into the pie tray, and place it in the freezer until the filling is made.

3Before making the filling, make sure the cashews are softened. To do this, either cover them in boiling water for 40 minutes (quick method) or leave them soaking in room temperature water overnight (long method). Once they are ready, drain the water and move onto the next step.

4Blend all filling ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor until a smooth paste forms. Pour this over top of the crust, and let it sit in the freezer while the topping is prepared.

5Put the shredded coconut in a stovetop pan over low heat, and stir them around until the coconut is lightly browned. It burns fast so be careful!

6Sprinkle this toasted coconut over top of the filling, and sprinkle grated lime over top of it as well. I arranged lime slices on the cake too (optional).

7Place back in the freezer for a couple hours until the filling is hardened.

8Once the cake is set, remove from the freezer and allow it to thaw until it can be cut. Run a knife under boiling hot water to be able to make a clean cut in the cake!

9See storage instructions below for storing any leftovers.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
