Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 6 inch spring pan For this recipe, I use a small 4.5-inch springform pan. However, you can opt for a larger pan, up to 7 inches in diameter, without adjusting the ingredient quantities. Keep in mind that using a larger pan will result in a shorter cake due to the increased surface area.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 8 Medjool dates pitted
  • ⅓ cup raw cashews
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Filling

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup papaya 120 grams

Topping

  • ½ cup papaya 120 grams

Instructions

For the Crust:

  • Remove the pits from the dates.
  • Add the dates, ⅓ cup cashews, and coconut oil to a food processor.
  • Blitz until a crumble forms.
  • Line the base of a springform pan with baking paper and spray lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Firmly press the crust mixture into the pan to form an even layer.

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • Soak 1 cup of cashews in boiling water for at least 10 minutes (or overnight in the fridge).
  • Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender with the coconut cream and fresh papaya.
  • Blend until extremely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure a creamy consistency.

For the Papaya Topping:

  • Blend ½ cup of fresh papaya until a smooth puree forms.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as necessary.

Layering the Cake:

  • Once the crust is prepared, pour the cheesecake filling on top and spread evenly.
  • Pour the papaya puree over the cheesecake layer and spread evenly.
  • Transfer the cake to the fridge and let it cool overnight to set.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
