How to Make Lemony Cheesecake With Berry Sauce Raw Vegan
- Combine all crust ingredients in a food processor until a sticky dough forms. Press into the bottom of a springform pan (8 or 9 inches).
- In a high-powered blender, combine the cashew cream ingredients and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and maple syrup.
- Gently fold the lemon mixture into the cashew cream until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Meanwhile, prepare the berry sauce: Combine all berry sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once the cheesecake is firm, remove it from the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving to allow it to slightly soften.
- Top with the berry sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!
