Cashew Cheesecake

Cashew Cheesecake

Category: Culinary recipes

Ingredients
cashews	200 g
almond	30-35 gr
dates	6-7 pcs
Red currants	handful
coconut milk	optional
honey	taste

Cooking method

• Soak uncooked cashews in water for several hours, or overnight.
• Remove seeds from dates.
• Prepare the base: mix almonds and dates in a blender until a plastic mass is formed.
• Line a form with high sides with cling film. Spread and tamp the nut-date mixture over the bottom of the mold.
• Soaked cashews along with honey (honey gives sweetness, the amount is regulated to your taste, you can not add) grind in a blender until smooth. In the process of grinding, you will get a homogeneous dense cream in consistency (and even in taste) close to curd. If the blender does not work well, add water or coconut milk. The more homogeneous the mass is, the more it will look like cheesecake.
• Put two-thirds of the resulting cream on a nut-date base.
• Add the previously thawed currants to the remaining one-third of the cream and whisk everything together again in a blender until smooth.
• Spread the resulting mass over the first white layer.
• Place the dessert in the freezer.
• Half an hour before serving, remove the dessert from the freezer, remove from the mold, remove the cling film and smooth out the irregularities with a spatula or knife soaked in hot water.
• The dessert is well cut, it tastes like curd cream.
• I made it in a 12x12 cm mold, you can also use separate small molds.

Note

Take the recipe from the site Povarenok ru

Cashew nuts are tender and oily in taste, to some even they may seem greasy, but this is not at all the case. Cashews contain much less fat than other nuts: walnuts, almonds, peanuts. However, there are more useful substances: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, starch, dietary fiber, natural sugars. Many vitamins of group B, vitamin PP and E; minerals such as: calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium. It is also important that cashew nuts contain omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. By consuming cashews regularly, in small quantities, you can constantly fill the body with the nutrients it needs.
Another advantage of cashews is their low allergenicity compared to other nuts. For those who are anemic or wasting and need to gain weight, nutritionists recommend starting cashews. It's funny, but those who want to lose weight are advised the same thing - cashews are perfectly satiated and absorbed, thereby helping to reduce the amount of high-calorie foods consumed. At the same time, you need to eat them a little, sometimes replacing them with other high-calorie dishes. The calorie content of the cashew nuts themselves is 600 kcal per 100 g.

[Check mark]

Check mark, I am delighted! At first, when I saw this dish in the lean section, I thought that you invented a lean cow with lean milk - a cheesecake! And then SO-O-O-OE! All that remains is to swallow saliva, imagining what a delicate taste this dessert has !!!!

Oh, nothing! Stunned! Galk, and Galk, does it fall apart after defrosting? I mean, did you cut straight from the freezer or have you already been lying around for half an hour?
Fall away finally! I would never have thought that cashews with honey could turn into cream.
Super, Gal! Well done!

[Galinka]

Mmmm, what a delight I love cashews. I drag it to bookmarks. Thank you, Galinka

[Galina]

Galina, Chic-shine-beauty !!!

[Galinka,]

Galinka, how delicious! Awesome!
And what does it look like ... Well done!

Oh, Checkmark, how delicious it must be! Great recipe! Thank you so much !

Thanks for such a wonderful recipe. How handy he is! I drag it to bookmarks.

Super recipe. Lent is so simple a festive dish. I will definitely cook it.

Awesome recipe, you don't even know about such miracles. I took it, I want to try

Girls, thank you for your kind words! I am glad that you, like me, paid attention to this recipe. For me, its taste was also an amazing discovery. I would not have guessed what it is from if I did not know. It is very important to beat the nuts well in a blender until smooth. If the blender fails, you can add a little water or coconut milk during the whipping process. I did not add, since my blender is very powerful, the mass is uniformly airy.

.... Galk, but does not fall apart after defrosting? I mean, did you cut straight from the freezer or have you already been lying around for half an hour? :

Flax, it cuts well. Yes, you need to let it stand for a while after the freezer, about 10 minutes. And it is even more convenient to make it in portions right away.

since my blender is very powerful

And what about your blender so magical? Dictate

Lenka, oh and you are curious!
Vitamix is ​​called

Galyusya, is this a leg?

No, like this
🔗

No, like this

Thank you. True, the photo does not open for some reason. Is it a multi-blender or a regular one?

Angela, if interested, here is the link 🔗

Galinochka, super recipe!
We adore these very much, all the products approved by my daughters

[Olya]

Olya, since you have such a large unanimous team, then you will definitely do
Then I'm waiting for impressions

Cool recipe! Only a match for such a blender will be difficult to find. I once wanted to buy this Vitamax too, but it seemed so expensive to me.

[Rita]

Rita, it is not at all necessary to have such a blender. Cope with any other, it just takes more time and you may have to add liquid, the structure will also be slightly different, but this is not important. Everything will work out anyway.
The blender, of course, is expensive, but that's what I need it for green cocktails.

Galya, great! And the blender is awesome! The best makes the best.

girls why no report? what nobody did? really want reviews like others? I'll do it myself!

[Nina]

really want reviews like others? I'll do it myself!

Nina, then from you and the first review

Gal, is cashew essential here? It's just that I'm not allowed to eat anything except walnuts and almonds on my diet. And the beauty is extraordinary

[An]

An, fundamentally. It won't work with others.
And why walnuts and almonds are allowed, but cashews are not? After all, they are less fatty and high-calorie.

It's a shame, I thought so. I do not know why. I even asked a question. No, they say, the intensive is not allowed.

An interesting recipe But difficult to accomplish. And not a single report for some reason. I'm afraid to screw up my blender. And if you grind it with a meat grinder, won't it?

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, the recipe is very simple with a good blender A meat grinder is not suitable for this purpose, the structure of the nut mass should be very smooth, approximately like soft cottage cheese.
Happy New Year!

Did it. I deviated from the recipe: instead of dates - raisins (there was a little more than a glass), I steamed it with boiling water. I did a triple portion, that's why so much. More ... I went into the filling of a can of coconut milk, three tablespoons of honey (with a slide), and strawberry jam on the pink layer (also three spoons, but without a slide). Decorated with frozen strawberries. And put it in the freezer. Just. Now I'm worried about what happens ...
Tomorrow I'm going to treat the company :-))

[Ksenia,]

Did the triple portion

Ksenia, Did you use currants, strawberry jam, and strawberries? Is there too much at once

Now I'm worried about what happens ...

I'm worried now too ...
Maybe you should have done a little on trial? What if you don't like it?
Do not forget, let it stand at room temperature before serving.

[+ Gala +]

+ Gala +, No, I didn't use currants. Instead of currants, strawberries :-)))

And only strawberries for decoration, berries on top and that's it.

This is just a bomb, not a recipe !!! They ate it with a bang. The fasting people were generally delighted :-))) Thank you very much! Most of all, I liked that the cooking time is 15 minutes, and the result is amazing.
And, yes, those who did not know what was inside thought it was cottage cheese.
The only amendment: 10 minutes at room temperature is not enough, after 10 minutes it only became possible to pierce it, but it turned out to be cut only after 30 minutes. The knife was very sharp (specially sharpened). But the cake also froze on the street at -30 :-)))
I will cook more, definitely.
I'll try to send a photo now :-))

Here ... There are layers (base, white and pink) and, in fact, strawberries.

[Ksenia]

Ksenia, it's great that everything worked out and the recipe lived up to expectations!

And, yes, those who did not know what was inside thought it was cottage cheese.

Yes, very similar to cottage cheese. And the smoother and more uniform the texture, the more it looks like cheesecake.

I did it in a coffee grinder, in small portions, it turns out a cream, the main thing is to let the grinder cool down periodically!
