Easy VeGan Strawberry Cheesecake

4/24/2019

Ingredients
Filling

1 1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk Use the solid "cream" part of the coconut milk that has surfaced to the top. Do not use the liquid. Make sure it's room temp.
1/2 cup maple syrup Room temp.
2 tablespoons coconut milk Room temp.
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Crust

1 cup raw pecans
1/2 cup medjool dates

Strawberry Topping

1/4 cup strawberry preserves

Instructions
Crust

In a food processor, combine the ingredients for the crust until the dough sticks together and is mostly smooth. Don't over blend it! The crust is better when it is slightly coarse in texture.
Line an 8" by 8" baking dish with parchment paper. Press the crust dough into the baking dish then set aside.

Filling

Begin by soaking the cashews in boiling water for about 1 hour until they are soft. Once the cashews are soft, drain the water.
In a food processor, blend the cashews until they become a pulp.
Heat the maple syrup and coconut oil on the stove to room temperature. Then slowly incorporate the warm maple syrup and melted coconut oil into the cashews while blending. Puree this mixture until completely smooth!
Heat both coconut milks to room temperature (If they were refrigerated). Then combine with the cashew mixture.
Add the vanilla and salt to the filling and finish blending until 100% smooth. Then pour the filling over the crust.

Topping

In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberry preserves until they become a bright red liquid.
To make the swirls, pour four diagonal lines of strawberry liquid across the cheesecake. Then take a toothpick and drag it vertically across the top of the cheesecake. As you do this, it will drag the strawberry preserves into a retro pattern.
Freeze the cheesecake until it is solid. It will still be soft enough to eat, so you don't have to worry about over freezing it. Freezing times vary depending on the type of freezer, but I recommend freezing it for 3-5 hours.

4/24/2019

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
*optional spices to add: cinnamon, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne

Instructions

Combine the mashed sweet potato, tapioca flour, coconut flour, salt, and any additional spices if desired. Mix well until a thick dough forms
Scoop out 1/4 cup of the sweet potato dough and roll into a ball, then place on parchment paper (grease paper lightly for best results) and flatten until very thin, with uniform thickness throughout
Heat a pan over medium heat (spray lightly with oil if pan is not non-stick). Once the pan is hot, carefully peel off the tortilla dough from the parchment paper and place into the pan. If the tortilla has any holes, quickly cover with a thin piece of extra dough over top and flatten slightly (being careful not to burn your fingers)
Heat roughly 2-3 minutes, until the tortilla starts to ‘bubble’ slightly, flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes
Serve immediately or cool and store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use
