Gluten-Free Cheesecake with Fresh Strawberries
 
Save Print
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
  • For the Crust:
  • 2 cups raw almonds, dry
  • 7 dates, pitted
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • For the filling:
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • fresh berries for topping
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray or oil the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Place all the “crust ingredients” in a food processor and blend until it forms a dough-like consistency. Add more water if necessary.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Place in the oven and cook for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse out the food processor and add the cream cheese and sugar and process until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and whipping cream. Mix or process until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Pour the filling into the crust.
  6. Bake cheesecake until the center is set (toothpick comes out clean) and edges begin to crack about 60-70 minutes. Cool in the springform pan on a rack. Chill uncovered until cold, at least 6 hours. Top with fresh strawberries.
  7. You can make it 1-2 days ahead and cover and keep it chilled.
