Raw Cheesecake

Just Like Cheesecake
For the Crust:
2 cups raw macadamia nuts
1/2 cup dates, pitted
1/8 cup dried coconut
For the cheese:
3 cups chopped cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour
3/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup Raw honey
3/4 cup coconut oil
1/8 C Pure org. Maple Syrup, Grade B (can be omitted, but it helps with the sweet)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Strawberry Sauce
2 C Fresh Strawberries
1/2-1 C Agave

DIRECTIONS:
To make the crust, process the macadamia nuts and dates in the food processor. Sprinkle dried coconut onto the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch glass pie dish. Press crust onto the coconut. This will prevent it from sticking.

To make the cheese, blend the cashews, lemon, honey, gently warmed coconut oil (run container under warm water), syrup, vanilla, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth and adjust to taste.
Pour the mixture onto the crust. 
Put in the freezer until firm. Defrost in the refrigerator.
To make the Strawberry Sauce, process Strawberries and agave in a food processor until well blended.
Pour over each slice, Enjoy!
