How to Make It
Step 1
Place the cashews in a large bowl. Pour in enough warm water to cover. Allow the cashews to sit for 4 hours at room temperature. The longer you allow them to soak in water, the more they will soften.
Step 2
Add the almonds, vegan butter, erythritol, and sea salt to a food processor. Process until completely combined and nuts are chopped into tiny pieces. If the mixture is too dry, add more vegan butter. You want it to press together easily like dough.
Step 3
Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Transfer the crust mixture to it. Using your hands, press the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan, creating an even layer.
Step 4
Drain and rinse the cashews. Transfer them to a food processor. Add the lemon juice, coconut milk, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Process until completely smooth.
Step 5
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Smooth into an even layer. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 6
When ready to serve, remove it from the refrigerator and let it rest for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice into 16 equal pieces. Add the desired Keto-friendly toppings, and enjoy!
