The Best Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake
The most creamy, luscious, velvety smooth, this is the Best Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake that is dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free! This blows away everybody who tries it! Just 8 ingredients.
Ingredients
CRUST
1 cup (150g) raw whole almonds
2 tablespoons (12g) raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
pinch fine sea salt
2 tablespoons (40g) pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
FILLING
1 1/2 cups (235g) raw cashews
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons water (90g)
1 tablespoon (15g) fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons (100g) pure maple syrup
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons (20g) coconut sugar
1/4 cup (30g) raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
90g raw cocoa butter (I used these discs b/c no chopping and easier to use. You must use a scale for accurate results, you should have 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons melted cocoa butter.)
Instructions
I did not soak my cashews at all, but if you do not have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, then you MUST soak your cashews overnight in a bowl of water, drain, rinse and proceed. This mixture is very thick and you will have major trouble getting it smooth otherwise. A regular blender is not likely to work, but a strong food processor should, as long as you soak them overnight. After soaking, drain and rinse and set aside.
