My first successful raw "cheesecake" was worth the hours of preparation. |
Yes, it takes me a moment to catch on, but I got it!
Beets and avocados seemed natural choice- all unorthodox and unique a pairing.
The cake originally did have a crust. It just didn't hold together properly.
There's no need to mourn loss. This yummy "cheesecake" definitely tastes wonderful- the avocado lime a perfect bottom of firmer stout and vivacious flavor. Its creamy richness is especially telling that it would make for a divine alone cheesecake. The beet portion was satisfying and greatly inspired by Vanilla & Spice's Raw Beet Cheesecake which contained adorable candied beet hearts adorning the top of her beautiful creation.
Raw Crustless Beet & Avocado "Cheesecake" Ingredients and Preparation
Beet Part
1 cup cashews, soaked overnight
1 beet, pureed
2 tablespoon agave nectar
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Blend cashews with some of the water its been soaked in and once smooth blend beet puree.
Add agave nectar, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Pour this mixture into a desired mold. (I used an 8' inch plastic bowl)
Avocado Part
1 cup cashews, soaked overnight
1 ripened avocado
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
juice and zest from one lime
1 teaspoon vanilla
Swirl avocado portion on top of beet & cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for four hours. Carefully scrap sides with a knife & gently turn bowl around onto a plate to release "cheesecake." |
Raw jagged heart shaped beet slices & lime slice garnish the top. |
Place back into the freezer for 10 minutes. |
Thaw for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. |
Very delicious! Personally quite enjoy the avocado section the best! |
