Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups raw cashews (soaked in water for at least 4 hours)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (plus extra for topping)

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour (for crust)

1/4 cup pitted dates, chopped (for crust)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, combine the almond flour, chopped dates, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and sticks together when pressed.

    Form the Crust: Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact it well. Place the pan in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.

      Make the Filling: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a blender or food processor, add the cashews, fresh strawberries, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

        Combine: Once the filling is creamy and fully blended, pour it over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

          Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until it sets completely.

            Serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake with the remaining sliced strawberries. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges.
