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

To Make the Crust:

Combine ingredients in your food processor until sticky. Get your 8-inch springform pan ready. Spray the sides and line the base with a circle of parchment paper. You could also use an 8x8-inch loaf pan or 12 silicone cupcake liners. Press the dough for the base into preferred mold, then set in the freezer.

To Make the Filling:

Blend cheesecake base until excessively whipped and smooth, then set aside.
Make one color at a time, start with red and finish with violet. For the red, add the ingredients to the food processor and process until smooth. Pour on top of the crust, spread it out evenly and swirl or shake to settle. Freeze until firm or tacky, about 30-60 minutes.
Wash the food processor and once the red layer is tacky, make the orange and pour on top. Repeat until done.
Freeze until firm 6-8 hours, easily done overnight. Remove, decorate, thaw as desired, and serve.
