Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 cup walnuts, raw and unsalted
  • 6 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Christmas Spice Filling

  • 3 cups cashews, soaked
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened oat milk
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin coconut oil
  • ¼ cup arrowroot powder

Instructions

To Make the Crust

  1. In a food processor, combine the walnuts, dates, oil, and vanilla. Process on high for 30 seconds, and then pulse, if needed, until it is roughly blended and begins holding together.
  2. In a 7-inch cheesecake pan, press the walnut mixture down evenly to cover the bottom and create the crust.

To Make the Filling

  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, oat milk, maple syrup, molasses, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and sea salt. Blend on high for 30 seconds, or until very smooth.
  2. Add the coconut oil and arrowroot powder and blend until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.
  3. Pour the filling into the cheesecake pan.
  4. Carefully place in the fridge and let set for 2 to 4 hours (or more, if needed).
