The sweet, fruity flavor of the figs pairs delicately with the lemon; and as usual the creaminess from the cashews creates one unbelievably smooth end result that everyone is going to gawk at. Wait – can you gawk with your mouth? Well either way, you can’t go wrong with raw vegan cheesecake. If you’re allergic to nuts you can use young coconut meat instead of cashews, and oats or buckwheat groats instead of pecans; hip hip hurrah for versatility in the kitchen! Although you can serve this cheesecake the day after you make it, I seriously recommend letting it sit another day in the fridge so the flavours can develop (just make sure it’s covered). It’s worth it, trust me.
