Rawberry Cheesecake



It was Rivers 1st birthday yesterday!! We had a beautiful little gathering at the park. He LOVES strawberries and blueberries... so I added blueberries to the strawberry cheesecake recipe I found. He gobbled it up... and so did everyone else! Here's him blowing out his candle with his daddy! (kind of...lol).

**You need a good food processor and a lightly oiled (with coconut oil) spring pan for this one...

For the crust:

1 cup raw Brazil nuts

1/2 cup raw cashews

1/2 cup raw almonds

4 or 5 dates

a little squeeze of raw agave

a dash of cinnamon

1/4 tsp sea salt

What to do:

Put the nuts in the food processor first and chop, then add the dates and everything else. Grind until its fine and smooth, and holds together. Start with four dates and if it's too crumbly add another.

Pat evenly into the bottom of the spring pan.

For the filling:

3 cups raw cashew pieces (soaked)

1/2 cup raw agave

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups strawberries

2 cups blueberries

3/4 cups coconut oil melted

What to do:

First grind your nuts. Then add the agave, water, lime juice and vanilla. Mix well, and then feed in the strawberries and blueberries slowly while the food processor is running. Last, slowly pour in the coconut oil.

Pour batter into the cake pan over the crust. It will seem liquidy, but it will set when you put it in the refrigerator. Let set for a few hours, and then decorate to your liking.

Enjoy!!
