Summer is right around the corner, so I’m bringing tropical vibes back to the blog with a luscious Mango Vegan Cheesecake. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free, but oh-so-creamy and rich! I promise you’re never going to miss all the refined sugar, heavy cream, and processed cream cheese that go in regular cheesecakes with this!

Mango and lemon add a beautifully sweet and zesty twist that balances out the richness of cashews and coconut milk. I used a chocolate-based crust since I couldn’t decide between having a fruity dessert or a chocolaty one! Why not have both when you can, right?!

To bump up the nutrients, I added a scoop of Detox Organics*, which happens to taste like chocolate! Detox Organics is a blend of 25 organic plants such as wheatgrass powder, barley grass powder, chlorella, spirulina, broccoli leaf, turmeric root powder, etc. It can help support the body’s natural detoxification process, improve digestion, and increase energy. It tastes pretty good too, so I usually add a scoop when making chocolate treats.

I like to soak the cashews for a minimum of 2 hours to get them soft and easy to blend. This is especially important if you don’t have a high-power blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec). You definitely don’t want to end up with chunks of cashews in your cheesecake. So make sure to soak and blend for as long as it takes to get a super smooth mixture. If you do have a strong blender, you can probably get away with not soaking. But I’d still soak for at least 15 minutes in hot water when I’m short on time, for best results.

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 scoop Detox Organics Chocolate Superfoods Powder

Filling:

  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked for 2+ hours {See Notes}
  • 1 cup mango cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 lemon with peel
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 mango sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • For the Crust: Mix all crust ingredients in a small bowl and stir to evenly combine. Press onto the bottom of a 4-inch spring form pan.
  • For the Filling: Throw all the filling ingredients-except for the sliced mango for garnish-in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour on top of the crust and place in the freezer for 2 hours or longer to firm up.
  • Thaw for 10 minutes if the cake has been in the freezer overnight. Garnish with mango slices and enjoy!

Notes

To soak cashews, cover them with warm water for 2 hours or longer (up to 24 hours). If you forget to do so, you can cover them with hot water that was brought to a boil. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse, drain, and use in the recipe.
