Ingredients
  

2 cups raw cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)

1 cup fresh strawberries (plus extra for garnish)

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (use vegan-friendly ones)

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (for crust)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and coconut sugar. Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and stick together.

    Assemble the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan (about 9 inches in diameter) to form an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even surface. Place the pan in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the soaked and drained cashews, fresh strawberries, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

        Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. This may take a few minutes to achieve a velvety texture.

          Layer the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

            Chill: Cover the cheesecake with foil or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.

              Serve: Once firm, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and let it thaw for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature before slicing. Top with additional fresh strawberries or a drizzle of strawberry sauce if desired.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve slices of the cheesecake on chilled plates with a sprinkle of crushed nuts and a fresh strawberry on top for a pop of color. Drizzle with extra maple syrup around the edge for added sweetness. Enjoy!
