Healthy “Cheesecake”

Soak cashews until soft (about 3 hours).

Make crust: Place almonds in a food processor. Process until finely ground. Add dates and process until well mixed. Set aside 1/3 cup of the crust. Press the remaining mixture into a springform pan. I used a 6″ pan for this recipe (you may have extra crust). Place in the refrigerator.

Combine dried apples, cranberries, cinnamon, agave, melted coconut butter and 1/3 cup crust mixture and set aside.

To make the filling, combine all filling ingredients in food processor. Process until smooth. This will take a bit of time. Pat over the crust and return to the refrigerator. Top with the combined dried apples, dried cranberries, coconut butter and 1/3 cup crust. Press over the top of the cheesecake.

Return to the refrigerator and chill for 3 hours before serving. Slice with a sharp knife. Serves 8.

If you want to make this the raw food way, dehydrate your own apples.
