Description
Indulge in a creamy, tropical Raw Mango Cheesecake that’s completely dairy-free and made with simple ingredients for an easy, no-bake treat.
Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1/3 heaping cup raw almonds
- 1/4 cup medjool dates
- 2 tbsp dried coconut
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Filling
- 1 small mango
- 1/2 lime, zested and juiced (optional)
- 1/2 heaping cup cashew kernels (soaked overnight, and drained)*
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp agave or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut cream or coconut milk (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh mint (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a food processor, mix all the crust ingredients until it forms into crumbs, about a minute.
- Evenly distribute the crumb mixture into 4 large cookie cutters** and press-down evenly to form the “crusts”. Set aside.
- In a high powered blender or food processor, blend the mango, lime juice and zest, cashews, coconut oil, agave, coconut cream, mint and vanilla. Blend until it is creamy, about a minute.
- Pour the filling into the cookie cutter bases and place them in the freezer to set, about 2 hours***.
- Remove cheesecakes from freezer and let sit on counter for 5 minutes (but no longer or they will be too “mushy”. If that happens, just return them to the freezer until reset). Using your thumbs, gently push them up from the bottom of the crusts and plate them. Wait another 5 minutes before serving, or place them in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, lime zest and/or mango slices.
Notes
For best results and a velvety-smooth filling, soak the cashews overnight. If you’re short on time, soak them in hot water for at least 1 hour.
To make a full-size cheesecake, multiply all ingredients by 4 and use a 10″ springform pan lined with parchment paper.
Store cheesecakes in the freezer, well-covered, for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes before serving.
