Raw Vegan Blueberry Mini Cheesecakes 

• Serves 6
• Prep time: 20 mins
• Freeze time: 3 hours
• Passive time: 12 hours

Filling

• 1 3/4 cups raw cashews soaked overnight
• 2 tbsp Botanica Perfect Protein Elevated Brain Booster
• 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut cream from can
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 vanilla bean or sub for 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Crust

• 1/2 cup raw almonds
• 3 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 tbsp Botanica Perfect Protein Elevated Brain Booster
• 12 dates (make sure they are soft)
• 18 blueberries

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the cashews into a bowl and cover with water. Let the cashews soak overnight.
2. Place the raw almonds, coconut oil, dates, and Botanica Perfect Protein Brain Booster into a blender or food processor. Pulse until it resembles moist crumbs to form a curst. Don’t over blend.
3. Take the crust and press down into 6 heart or circle moulds (2.5″ x 2.5″ x 1.25 size). Use just under 1 tbsp per mould. Place 3-4 fresh or frozen blueberries on top of each crust.
4. Blend the soaked cashews, Botanica Perfect Protein Brain Booster, lemon juice, coconut cream, maple syrup, 1/2 cup blueberries, and scrape out the seeds of the vanilla bean pod into the blender. Blend until completely smooth.
5. Scoop out 1 tbsp of the lighter blueberry mixture for each mould and smooth out with a spoon. Add the rest of the blueberries to the blender and blend again. Fill the rest of the moulds to the top with dark blueberry mixture. Top with 3 blueberries on each cake.
   * You can also add 1/4 cup more frozen blueberries for an extra bold blueberry flavour to the top layer if wanting. 
6. Place the cheesecakes into the freezer and let freeze for 3 hours.
7. Take the cheesecakes out of the freezer 20 minutes before serving to allow them to thaw.
