This is delectable! All fruit, all the time. This cake has a vibrant array of colors that are naturally pleasing to your pretty little eyes. As winter continues to draw nearer, I do the same with my warm clothing and scarves (draw them nearer, that is). The cold weather creates a crisp and refreshing environment that always reminds me to be grateful for what I have been given and what I have – including raw vegan cheesecake! Namaste!

How to Prepare Raw Orange and Blueberry Cheesecake [Vegan]

To Make the Crust:

Process the nuts and dates/raisins in your food processor until the nuts have become crumbs and the mixture sticks together when you press it. Press into the bottom of a spring-form pan and put in the refrigerator.

To Make the Orange Cheesecake:

Blend all ingredients (except orange zest) in your high-speed blender until very smooth, then add in the orange zest with a spoon. Reserve 1/4 cup of this mixture for the blueberry topping – pour the rest onto your crust and put in the freezer.

To Make the Blueberry Layer:

Blend the blueberries and the 1/4 cup of cheesecake mixture in your food processor or blender until creamy but still with small pieces of blueberry for texture. Spread this over your cheesecake and keep in the freezer or fridge overnight. If you can wait a day — this is best after two days (and not frozen, of course) enjoy with sliced oranges and blueberries.
