After trying the delicious raw desserts at It's Rawsome! Cafe I was amazed and in LOVE!!! I just had to know how to make one So I found this recipe from Quirky Cooking's blog, Jo is amazing #inspirational. It turned out sooooo good, very easy!!! So now that I know how to make a raw treat I think you will be seeing alot more of them on Little tummy rumbles. hehe!!! Here it is my version of Quirky Cooking's Raw Macadamia Lime 'Cheesecake' or 'CheeseFake' as I like to call it Oh and this is a Thermomix recipe but can easily be altered to make in food processor or a really good blender just won’t be as smooth in texture but it will still taste delicious!!
For the base: Grind 130g raw macadamia nuts, 70g shredded coconut, 8 fresh pitted dates and a pinch of Himalayan salt, together on speed 9 for 25 seconds til finely chopped and combined well. Grease a 20cm springform tin with coconut oil. Press mixture firmly into the base of the tin, and up the sides- if you like.
For the filling: Place 2 vanilla beans and zest of 2 limes in thermomix bowl and grind on speed 10 for 15 seconds until very fine. Add 150g cashew nuts and grind on speed 10 for 8 seconds. Then add the flesh of a lime, 320g avocado, 120g pure maple syrup, 50g coconut oil and a pinch of Himalayan salt blend all together on speed 9 for 1 minute til smooth. Pour and spread mixture over base. Place in freezer for half an hour.
For the topping: On speed 9 mix together 150g raw macadamias (soaked for 3 hours then drained), 150g coconut cream, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste(or essence), juice of a lime and 30g pure maple syrup until smooth. Pour over filling and smooth over. Top with lime zest and/or chopped macadamias if you wish. Cover and place in the freezer for 3 hours.
Your delicious Raw 'Cheesecake' will last for weeks in the freezer just remember to let it sit on bench to defrost a little before cutting it as it is best served semi-frozen. Enjoy!!
