Hi Joz!

Thank you for the compliment on my cheesecake photo! Before I share the recipe, I must let you know that this recipe is a closely guarded filipino recipe. It's quite sacred to our family! (LOL! Just teasin'!!)

The recipe for the cheesecake itself is from a recipe posted on this board. The recipe is called "Chocolate Carvel Cheesecake" (what a name, eh!) I just did not make the chocolate topping. As far as the whipped topping, I used the whipped topping recipe from RawGuru's cheesecake recipe. Since I wanted this to be more of a strawberry cheesecake, I served each slice drizzled with a strawberry sauce made of blended strawberries and agave nectar (or honey). Sooooo goood!!!

To make it easy for you, I've provided the recipes below: :)


CHOCOLATE CARVEL CHEESECAKE (posted by Sheryl)

Crust:
2 cups pecans
1/2 cup raisins

1) Process the crust ingredients until they are crumbled and will hold together when squeezed. Leave some texture in - it adds visual appeal and tastes nicer too.
2) Press into the bottom of a spring form pan

Filling:
3 cups raw cashews, soaked a few hours to soften
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 - 3/4 cup dark agave nectar
1/2 cup melted cacao butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 vanilla bean
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1) Grind the vanilla bean
2) Blend all ingredients together until very smooth
3) Pour into spring form pan

Topping:
(The photo you saw did not have this chocolate topping. But I have made this topping before and it is awesome!)

1/4 cup cacao butter
1/2 cup cacao powder
2 teaspoons agave nectar (or more to taste)

1) Melt cacao butter in the dehydrator or in a bowl of just warmer than body temperature water
2) Mix ingedients together
3) Drizzle over cake (I like a solid chocolate top best)

Place cake in fridge or freezer to set.
Slice while still firm (to avoid cracking the chocolate topping)


WHIPPED CREAM by RawGuru
1 cup young coconut meat (chopped up)
3 tbs. raw cashews or mac nuts (soaked for 8-10 hrs)
8 soaked dates or 2 tbs. honey (or more if you like it sweeter)
3 tbs. coconut water or almond milk
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
drop of vanilla extract

Blend all the ingredients for the whipped cream and chill in the freezer until ready to use. When ready to decorate, I placed the whipped cream in a ziplock plastic bag, cut one of the corners and piped it along the sides of the cheesecake.

Let me know how it turns out for you! :) This is an amazingly awesome tasting recipe!

Hello Joz!

The "balls" is actually the whipped topping, just piped through the corner of a plastic ziplock baggie (like a pastry piping bag) :) Thank you for the kind words about the photo! Per your request...here's the picture.

Blessings,
Jocelyn
