Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a food processor, pulse the raw almonds until they are finely ground. Add in the pitted dates and shredded coconut, and continue to process until the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
-
Press the almond-date mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan, creating a firm crust. Place it in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
-
In a high-speed blender, combine the chia seeds, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, fresh ginger, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Pour the lemon ginger cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula and tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
-
Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
-
Once the cheesecake has set, remove it from the refrigerator and carefully release it from the springform pan. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
