Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful for this recipe.

Method

  1. Place the cashews in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 1 hour. Meanwhile prepare the crust.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Coat a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap the pan with heavy duty foil to prevent any leaks while baking.
  3. Place the rolled oats, almonds, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor then process until a fine meal is achieved. In a medium bowl combine the fine meal with the melted coconut oil. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  4. Bake in the middle of the oven until the crust is set but not browned, about 15 min. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 min.
  5. In a food processor, place the soaked cashews, tofu, coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice and pinch of salt. Blend until very smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake until the edges are lightly golden in color and the cheesecake is set, but the center still jiggles slightly, about 45 min. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate uncovered overnight.
  7. Garnish with berries and whipped coconut cream, if desired. Serve.
