Equipment

  • Six 4-oz mason jars (you can get these at your local hardware store or online
  • High speed blender (to make the cashew cream cheese)

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • ½ cup Medjool dates

For cheesecake filling:

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 tbsp coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Blueberry topping:

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional - for thickening

Instructions

  • Before getting started, get 3 medium-sized bowls ready . You’ll use one for the crust, one for the cheese and one for the blueberries.
  • For the crust, pulse almonds and dates in a food processor until you achieve a crust like consistency. Remove from processor and transfer to a bowl. Set aside.
  • For the cheese, blend cashews with water, coconut cream, coconut oil and lemon until you have a smooth, creamy consistency. Add additional water as needed.
  • For the blueberry topping, heat frozen blueberries, lemon juice, brown sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes (or until mixture becomes thick and starts to slightly bubble).
  • Lay out all 6 mason jars and start by dividing the crust in each jar. Next add a layer of cream cheese and then a final layer of blueberry topping. Eat one now and stir on the lids to the other 5 jars and save for later.
