1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Cheesecake

3 cups cashews (preferably soaked for 3-4 hours)
3/4 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup agave/maple syrup
3/4 cup melted coconut oil

How to Make It

Crust: Surround the inside of a cake pan with wax paper or plastic wrap. Process all ingredients together until you get a rough, sticky mixture that you can pat down with your hands into the bottom of the cake pan. Set in fridge.

Filling: Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Pour onto crust in cake pan and set in the freezer or fridge until it has the hardness you want (probably 3-5 hours or overnight). Take out of cake pan holding the wax paper or plastic wrap and put on your favorite plate. Slice and enjoy.
