RAW CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

 
 
An Advocare Herbal Cleanse lasts for 10 days. That is a long time for me to go without processed sugars, dairy & flour.
I found an amazing receipt that I tweaked a bit for my taste. It is free of dairy, soy, gluten & processed sugars. And I think it tastes delicious.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
RAW CHOCOLATE CHEESE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE
 
  • 2 cups cashews, pieces
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, liquid
  • 1 cup Agave
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
Directions:
Soak cashews for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse well. Place cashews into a blender with agave, vanilla & water. Blend for a little bit to get it creamy. Next add cocoa & coconut oil. Blend until creamy. You may need to scrap the sides, just keep blending until it is nice & smooth. Pour contents of blender into a pie pan (or glass container, something about the size of a pie).
 
CHOCOLATE SAUCE
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, liquid
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 8 tsp Agave
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
 
Directions: Place all in a glass bowl or measuring cup, mix well and pour over the 'cake'.
Place in the fridge to cool.
 
As we cut a piece of the CAKE, we like to top the piece with fresh sliced strawberries or fresh fruit salad. This is how I have my 'chocolate covered strawberries' while on the cleanse.
