Ingredients You Need for Raw Paleo Blueberry Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
For the Filling:
- 2 cups raw cashews
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups wild blueberries
For the Base:

How to Prepare Raw Paleo Blueberry Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Place cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak for at least 3 hours to overnight and rinse before using.
- To make the base, place the dates, pecans, shredded coconut, stevia and salt in a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until it forms into a chunky crumbly mixture. If your dates are really dry, you may need to add 2-4 teaspoons of water. The base is ready when you can roll it into a ball that stays together.
- Press the base mixture into a 7-inch springform pan or 12 muffin liners. Place it in the freezer and chill while you prepare the filling.
- To make the filling, place the soaked cashews, lemon juice, stevia, coconut oil and vanilla in the high-speed blender or food processor and process until silky smooth.
- Remove the chilled base from the freezer and top with 2/3 or the vegan cashew cream cheese and return to the freezer to set.
- Add 1 cup of blueberries to the remaining filling in the blender or food processor and process until smooth. Pour over the chilled cheesecake, cover and freeze until solid, roughly 5 hours.
- Before serving, defrost the blueberry cheesecake in the fridge for 3 hours and garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup of blueberries.

This look absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe. i\’ll have to try this myself sometime soon!
The point of the Paleo diet is, and I feel some people forget this, to not only diet, but to eat delicious foods at the same time. It\’s the only diet I\’ve come across that cuts out food groups, yet still focusses on everyone\’s need to eat great food.
I\’m a real foodie, and would not survive on any other diet, but Paleo has been very good for me. I\’ve written about one of my favourite cookbooks: https://cookbook-reviews.net/review-the-paleo-recipe-book/
