How to Prepare Raw Blueberry Cheesecake With Apricot Walnut Crust [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To make the bottom, chop the nuts and apricots in a blender until you get a sticky mass.
Transfer it to the bottom of your small (about 5-inch) round springform pan, smooth out with the reverse side of a tablespoon. Press gently with your fingers to make it stick to the bottom of the form.
Rinse and drain the cashews.
To make the filling, blend thoroughly all ingredients. Taste. Add more syrup if you feel like it. We want a homogeneous and very soft filling, so blend long enough, about 5 minutes.
Pour the filling onto the crust. Gently tap the spring-form on the table to smooth the surface.
Decorate with berries.
Place the cake in the in the freezer for 30 minutes in order to harden.
Gently swipe a table knife between the side surface of the springform and the cake and separate the form from the cake.
Cut into four or eight pieces and serve.
