Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place all of the crust ingredients in a food processor or bowl and mix until a dough forms. Press the crust into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 20 mintues.
- While the crust is baking, place the cashews in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil the cashews for 15 minutes, drain and rinse.
- Make the flax eggs by mixing the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to “gel” up.
- Place the cashews and all other filling ingredients in a food processor/blender and blend until smooth. Pour the filling over the crust and place in the fridge for a few hours to firm up.
- Make the gel topping by bringing all of the haskap gel topping ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan whisking frequently. Allow the mixture to cool before pouring over top of the cheesecake and then place it back into the refrigerator, overnight for best results.
- Garnish with fresh berries if desired. Keep the cheesecake stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
