Ingredients

The following ingredients have 11 Servings
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 1/2 cups nuts (I used 1/2 cup pecans and 1 cup almonds)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups cashews (soaked 4 hours to overnight in filtered water)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp coconut milk
  • 3-4 pinches salt
  • 1 pinch salt flakes (we love Maldon flakes)

Instruction

  • Line a 6″-8″ spring-form pan with parchment paper.
  • Place all crust ingredients in a food processor and work it baby!  Er, process it until it’s a course gravely texture.
  • Pour into the spring-form pan and press down making a firm base.
  • Dispose of water remaining in soaked cashews.
  • Put all filling ingredients in a high powered blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into the spring-form pan.  Gently drop the pan a couple inches above the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
  • Put in freezer for 1-2 hours to harden.
  • Put maple syrup, coconut oil, coconut milk, and salt in a saucepan, whisk, and gently boil over Med to Med-High for 5 minutes-ish to thicken the sauce.  Whisk periodically to prevent burning.  Add an extra pinch of salt if needed.
  • Allow to cool slightly, then pour over cheesecake.  Top with salt flakes.
