Alkaline Lime Cheesecake (Raw, Vegan, Keto)
Oh yes. This is the follow up to my wildly popular “Alkaline Salted Caramel Slice“.
It’s DELICIOUS, raw, vegan, low-sugar, alkaline, keto-friendly – AMAZING.
The eagle-eyed among you will notice that the base is exactly the same as the Caramel Slice, but the topping is very different and tastes just as good.
This is, of course, not perfectly alkaline, but it is pretty darn good for being this tasty.
I’m not going to wax lyrical about the nutrient goodness, because that’s not what this is about. This is about healthy decadence. Enjoy.
Alkaline Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
Base:
1.5 cups of shredded coconut
6 soft Medjool dates
A pinch of cinnamon
Layer Two:
1 large Hass avocado, pitted and peeled
1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 2 hours, and drained
½ cup melted coconut oil
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
½ cup pure rice malt syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch sea salt
1 tablespoon lime zest
Optional: Roughly chopped pistachios to top
Instructions
1) start by blending the base ingredients together until they look like a regular ‘biscuit base’ then add these to a baking tin (regular round one or a rectangle one – whichever you have), or in mini-tins/ramekins like in the photo.
2) Blend together the layer two ingredients until smooth and then pour over the base. Freeze, covered for 3-4 hours.
Serve with a big dollop of coconut yogurt
If you are going to eat all of them between yourself, family, guests, etc within a couple of days, put them straight into the fridge. However, if you are planning on having them slowly over a week or two, cover and put them in the freezer as sliced individual serves. You can remove them and enjoy them within just 10-15 minutes of taking them out of the freezer.
Will this cake be OK for diabetics? Thanks
Hi Ross
I have a coconut allergy. I’m guessing there is no other oil I could use for this???
MCT oil 🙂
I do not like all coconuts ( in any form). What can I use instead,please!
Hi Ross, this looks delicious, but if I’m not very active (broke hip last year) and diet isn’t keto, would this recipe be high in calories and maybe add to my weight worries
Hey
You don’t have to be on a ketogenic-type diet to enjoy this – and calories do not determine weight loss/gain. Check this guide out: https://liveenergized.com/alkaline-diet-resources/the-simple-weight-loss-equation/
Thanks Ross, I will surprise my daughter and her husband with this cake. I’m sure they will loved it.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Those cakes look sooooooooooooooooo yumm! :-))
Hi Ross
Did I inspire you with this recipe?? 😋😁
Thanks anyway 🙏🏻
About the rice malt syrup….can’t Swerve be substituted for it?
What can you use in place of rice malt syrup? Also, is there a sub for the dates in the crust? I am trying to balance an alkaline diet for my husband and I with lower carbs as he is diabetic (diet-controlled.)
Hi Ross – can I please check that this recipe is definitely keto – what with the dates and rice syrup
Thanks
Is there a paleo substitute for the rise malt syrup?
Thank you. Is there any substitute for malt syrup? I don’t think it is gluten free and I am intolerant to gluten.
Hi Irina, I don’t eat gluten either, and I like to use coconut sugar (which also comes in a syrup form) because it has a lower glycemic index than other sweeteners.
It is absolutely gluten-free.
Yay! I have all those ingredients!
Thanks Ross
Can’t wait to make these! Perfect summer treat.
Thanks Ross. It looks yummy!
