How to Prepare Raw Pineapple Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Base:

Line a cake tin with grease-proof paper.
De-seed/pit the dates and add them into a food processor/blender along with the oats, coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Press the mixture into the lined cake tin. Place some pineapple chunks on top and pop into the freezer whilst you prepare the filling.

To Make the Filling:

Drain the cashew nuts and place them into a food processor/blender along with the pineapple, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whizz up on high for around 5-8 minutes or until smooth.
Pour the creamy pineapple layer onto the base and pop the tray back into the freezer to set. Allow the cheesecake to set fully. This will take around 2-4 hours (you can leave it overnight).
Store in a sealed container in the freezer and defrost before serving.
