Cake Base

- Place the paste in the spring form and leave to chill while preparing the cheesy cream and the raspberry purée
Cheesy Cream
- Blend cashew nuts with water
- Add lemon juice, agave syrup, coconut oil, cocoa butter, vanilla powder and Himalayan salt and blend. Pour the cream over the nut base in the spring form and leave to chill (fridge or freezer)
Raspberry Purée
- Make the raspberry purée by blending raspberries, agave syrup and 2 tsp finely ground chia seeds or psyllium seed husks
- Pour the purée over the cooled and set cheesecake
- When the cake is set, remove the sides of the spring form and decorate the cake with fresh fruit
