How to Prepare Raw Vanilla Lingonberry Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
For the Base:
- Place the sunflower seeds and coconut flakes into a blender/food processor and pulse until grainy mixture forms.
- Add the pitted dates and melted coconut oil and continue pulsing until combined/mixed. Line a 7-inch cake pan with parchment paper and spread the base mixture evenly on the bottom. Transfer to the freezer.
To Make the Cheesecake:
- Carefully open the coconut cream cans and scoop out only the thick part. Place into a blender/food processor with the lemon juice, agave nectar/maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and banana. Blend until smooth and even. Scoop half of the mixture into the cake pan on top of the bottom and transfer to freezer.
- Add the lingonberries into the remaining half of the cake mixture, blend until even. Make sure the first layer has fully set before adding the next one to stop the layers from getting mixed up. Transfer to the freezer overnight, or at least for 4-5 hours. Take out of the freezer to defrost for one hour before serving.

Here is why… For a food to be considered “raw”, some experts state it can not be heated up past 104°F – 120°F. During the cooking process Maple Syrup is boiled at 219°F and Agave Syrup is boiled between 140°F – 160°F when being processed! 💥 Agave Nectar: A Sweetener That is Even Worse Than Sugar https://authoritynutrition.com/agave-nectar-is-even-worse-than-sugar/
