Hey Good Look'n

Hi there!
Sometimes we get in a rut and don't know what to eat for dinner, breakfast, lunch or snack and it gets a little boring. I enjoy taking any recipe and tweeking it so that whole natural ingredients are used and it is healthy. I have to admit that I don't use recipes all the time, I eyeball a lot of things and taste test. Some of my recipes on here I just thought about in terms of measurements so feel free to be an explorer and try and taste your way through your cooking! I promise that eating clean whole foods can taste great and make you feel just as wonderful! Just imagine if everyone could learn to be so in tune with their bodies down to the very taste of what it is they are needing. Good luck, Happy Healthy Cooking!!!

Amazing Raw Cheesecake!!! From Yummly.com

Vegan Lemon Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake Squares (Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, No-Bake, Paleo-Friendly and No Refined Sugar)

Ingredients
  • 3 Cup raw cashews
  • 1 1/2 Cup lemon juice
  • 3/4 Cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 Cup organic coconut oil
  • 2 Cup pecans
  • 1/4 Cup maple syrup
  • 2 Tbs organic coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla beans
  • 1 Cup blueberries or whatever fruit you choose
  • 1 Tbs maple syrup
  • 1 Tbs organic coconut oil

DIRECTIONS

Prepare the crust
Step 1Add all ingredients for the crust into a food processor and process until it becomes a sticky, crumbly texture.

Line a 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the crust mixture into the dish.

Using your hands, firmly press the crust evenly into the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
Prepare the filling
Step 2Add all the ingredients for the filling to a Vitamix, or high speed blender, and blend until it is creamy and smooth.

Pour the mixture on top of the crust and spread it evenly.
Prepare the swirl topping
Step 3Add all ingredients for the swirl topping to a food processor and process until it has a puree' type texture.

Drizzle the swirl topping on top of the cheesecake filling.

Using the tip of a sharp knife, swirl the topping into the cheesecake filling.
Step 4Put in the freezer for approximately 2 hours, or until it hardens.

When ready to serve, you will need to leave it out on the counter top for about 10 minutes or so to soften slightly because it will be completely frozen and difficult to cut.

Store it in the freezer until ready to serve because it will become soft and lose its shape if left out at room temperature.

Enjoy!

NOTE

This recipe will make approximately 16 large squares.
