here is the recipe: the link is not working: hmmm?
White Chocolate-Strawberry Cheesecake

2 cups fresh chopped strawberries
1 cup cashews (they do not have to be soaked)
3 oz melted coconut butter
1 oz melted cacao butter
¼ cup light floral honey or agave
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt

Blend all of the ingredients in a vita mix or high speed blender until completely smooth.

Crust:

½ cup brazil nuts
½ cup shredded coconut
Pinch of salt
1 heaping tablespoon cocoa powder
1-2 tablespoons agave
1-2 tablespoons cacao nibs
Seeds from ¼ vanilla bean

Process the brazil nuts, shredded coconut, salt, cocoa powder and vanilla bean seeds in a food processor until fine crumbs. Add the agave and cacao nibs until the mixture just starts to stick together. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. If you are making a large cheesecake, feel free to double or even triple the recipe (crust and filling).

Pour the filling over the crust and chill or freeze until ready to serve. This recipe made two 4 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch cheesecakes.

Strawberry sauce:

1 cup strawberries
Agave nectar to taste

Blend or mash the strawberries and agave together. Pour over slices of strawberry cheesecake.

:) You don't know how HAPPY YOU HAVE MADE ME.
I have cashews and i have strawberries, boy do i have a lot.
Yummy to my tummy:)
I'll never look at a strawberry again and wonder, what can i do with it.
I can hardly wait until in the morning. You took time out of your busy day to bless me, you're a sweetie.

OMG I just had an epiphany. Unfortunately I can't eat strawberries yet (along with Kiwi, pineapple and watermelon...but plan on reintroducing them this summer) but OMG I can taste this with RASPBERRIES!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM (in best OM chant)

Or Blackberries....or... drooool...

I've lapsed into a state of semi consciousness...I will finish that thought later...

Oh thank you, this sounds wonderful!!

[Crisyn]

Thanks for posting the recipe!
Yes, this cheesecake was amazing. Everyone who tried it loved it!
I did make a few changes - I used lime juice instead of lemon, and I added more agave nectar to the crust because I couldn't get it to stick together. Also, for the strawberry jam, I used about a cup of strawberries, and a few dates and then blended it up really smooth. Yummy!
Do post a picture if you try it!

I just want to ditto all the thank you's that have been posted so far. :) I am going to try this one day soon, I bet I could get my dad and sister to go for this. I could really see myself enjoying this in the summer months. I am going to try it next month hopefully.

Does it have the thick texture of a cheesecake or does is eat fluffy?

[wyjoz]

All of you are more than welcome: It looks so beautiful ! and the link was down.

[Crisyn]

lavenderj, it is kind of both - thick and fluffy - like a firm mousse. I suppose you could vary the amount of cacao/coconut butters to get the texture you want.
