Raw Lemon Strawberry Cheesecake from Sweet & Healthy Living
I was perusing Gluten-Free Cat’s Raw Food Thursdays event recently when I spied this Raw Lemon Strawberry Cheesecake with an Almond Crust from Victoria at Sweet & Healthy Living. As is true of many raw desserts—and cheesecakes specifically—this recipe calls for cashews. Other ingredients include oats (or almonds), almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, strawberries, and dates. Its one’s food processor and freezer that do most of the work in turning all these ingredients into a heavenly cheesecake. And Victoria says that it’s her simple strawberry sauce that literally makes the cake. I love that the strawberry sauce is divided and added in two parts, once when the cake pan is half full and again when it’s full, for that final presentation. Victoria points out that it’s the first application that allows you to perfect your technique—brilliant!
If you like the looks of this dessert, you’ll also want to check out Victoria’s new eb00k, Guiltless Vegan Desserts.

This looks amazing and raw cheesecake is something I’ve wanted to try for sometime now. I love cheesecake, but I’m trying to get back on my “no dairy” bandwagon, so the traditional version is off the menu. This looks like it will do the trick, though. Thanks, Shirley! Off to get the recipe.
Melissa–I, too, have been wanting to try a raw cheesecake. I’ve sampled both raw cheesecakes and Key Lime pies and been blown away by how good they are, but have not yet made one. This recipe looks to be amazing like you said (and that’s why I had to share it, of course!) and while I do love that classic cheesecake like the fabulous one of your mom’s, it doesn’t always love me.
Enjoy this one, dear, and do report back when you make it! Even if it’s eons from now.

Cheesecake is one of my favorites! Off to look at the recipe, her 2 part strawberry sauce intrigues me
Thanks again Shirley!
BTW- I love the new cake in your header.
Hi Cassidy!–I think cheesecake is one of just about everyone’s favorites.
That Strawberry Sauce seems to be good to be true! I could actually see it being used for a number of recipes. 
Oh, and the cake in the header has been there from the beginning (there are several images that rotate out when the page is refreshed), but so glad you like it. It’s a sweet image for sure! Thanks for taking the time to comment; I so appreciate it!
xo,
Shirley
wow, that looks seriously amazing!
I know, right, Cheryl? It’s clearly gorgeous and delicious!
