How to Prepare Raw Orange and Ginger Slice [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Crust:
- Line a 9x9 cake tin with parchment paper.
- Add all the dry ingredients into a food processor and blend them into a crumbly texture.
- Add the dates, and blend the mixture again. If your dough is not holding together well, add 1/8 cup of water for a stickier texture.
- Push the dough with your hands into the lined tin and set it aside.
To Make the Cheesecake:
- Add all of the remaining ingredients, other than the turmeric, into the food processor. Ensure that none of the ingredients are cold or the coconut oil may solidify again.
- Blend until super creamy and pour half the cashew mixture over the slice base.
- Add the turmeric and blend again. Pour in the rest of the mixture and swirl together.
- Transfer into a freezer for at least 3 hours before cutting into 9 large slices.
