Ingredients
Scale
FOR THE CRUST
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 10 dates, pitted (soak in water for 10 minutes if hard)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
FOR THE FILLING
- 1 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp coconut butter, melted
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Vital Proteins Gelatin
- 1/4 cup water
FOR THE BLUEBERRY LAVENDER TOPPING
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp Vital Proteins Gelatin
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp dried lavender
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
FOR THE CRUST
- Line the base of a 7-8″ springform pan with parchment paper and set aside. See notes for alternatives.
- Using a food processor, blend the dates. Add the shredded coconut and coconut oil and blend until fully combined.
- Evenly the crust mixture into the pan and set aside. Clean out the food processor for the next step.
FOR THE FILLING
- Combine the coconut cream, coconut butter, oil, and maple syrup in the food processor for 10-15 seconds. Set aside.
- Pour the water into a small saucepan and evenly sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Allow to sit for 2-3 minute to bloom. Place on the stovetop set to low heat and melt the mixture for 1-2 minutes, not allowing the water to bubble. Use a whisk or milk frother to blend the gelatin mixture until frothy.
- Add the gelatin mixture into the food processor and mix for another 10-15 seconds.
- Carefully pour the filling over the crust and place in the refrigerator overnight.
FOR THE TOPPING
- Add all of the ingredients (reserving the gelatin) to small saucepan and place on medium heat. Stir for 4-5 minutes, and don’t allow to boil. Once the blueberries soften, sprinkle in the gelatin and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Allow to slightly cool.
TO SERVE
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan by separating from the pan with a butter knife. Remove the springform and top with blueberry topping. Slice the cheesecake into 12 or more slices and enjoy!
Notes
An 8×8″ square baking dish also works if you’d rather make cheesecake bars.
