Are you craving the rich flavor of a cheesecake but don’t want to heat up the kitchen? Try this raw version with plenty of healthy proteins and nutrients to keep you energized this summer.
Servings 12 Serving(s)

Ingredients
  

For crust

  • 7 ounces raw almonds
  • 3 ounces raw cashews
  • 4 large pitted dates
  • 1 teaspoon ground culinary lavender
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt

For filling

  • 28 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries, washed (reserve about 12 berries for garnish)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground culinary lavender
  • 2 teaspoons sugar, plus a pinch for the top

Instructions
 

  • FOR CRUST
    Process almonds, cashews and dates in a food processor until crushed. Add lavender, honey, coconut oil and salt; process until combined. Transfer and flatten the “dough” onto the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan (or, if making individual servings, into mini-muffin cups).
    FOR FILLING
    Combine cream cheese and fresh blueberries in a food processor. Pulse until all is blended with a smooth buttery texture. Add honey, lavender and sugar and pulse just until incorporated.
    To assemble: Spoon the filling onto the crust, sprinkle with a little granulated sugar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Top the cheesecake with the reserved blueberries to garnish.
