Description

A creamy no-bake green cheesecake made with clean, plant-based ingredients like matcha, avocado, or pistachio. This dairy-free dessert is vegan, gluten-free, and freezer-friendly, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup raw almonds or walnuts
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

 

For the Filling:

  • 1½ cups raw cashews (soaked for 4 hours or overnight)
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1½ tablespoons matcha powder or ½ ripe avocado or ¼ cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust – Add almonds, shredded coconut, maple syrup, and salt to a food processor. Pulse until crumbly and sticky. Press evenly into the bottom of a lined springform pan. Freeze while you make the filling.
  2. Blend the filling – Add soaked cashews, coconut cream, lemon juice, matcha (or avocado or pistachio), vanilla, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Assemble – Pour the filling over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Freeze – Place in the freezer for 4–6 hours, or until firm.
  5. Serve – Let thaw for 10–15 minutes at room temperature before slicing. Store leftovers in the freezer.

Notes

You can use avocado or pistachio instead of matcha for a different flavor and shade of green.

For a nut-free crust, swap nuts with oats and sunflower seeds.

Store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 1 month.

For a layered version, divide the filling and mix with different green bases.
