Oreo Cashew Cheese Cake!

Oreo Cashew Cheese Cake!


I made this amazing cheese cake for my house mates and they absolutely loved it! All you need is a cute pie dish, a blender and an oven.

(Makes 1 shallow cheese cake)
Ingredients:

2 packets of Oreo biscuits
500g cashews, soak for 1-3 hrs
1 lemon
4 tbsp coconut syrup or agave
100ml water
1 handful crushed raspberries

Chocolate Glaze:
1 tbsp coconut nectar
2 tsp cacao powder
2 tsp coconut oil

Twist the oreos and take out the creamy middle and set aside in two separate bowls. Crush up the biscuit part until its super crumbly and mix with a few tbsp of water to form a squishy mouldable dough. Line the dish with some baking paper, scrunch the paper up and then it will mould easier to the dish. Spread out the biscuit to form the base and place in the oven for 15 minutes  at 200 degrees celsius. Meanwhile,  place the soaked cashews into a blender along with the juice of the lemon, the syrup and about 100ml water. Blend until super smooth. Add in the cream from the oreos if you desire. Pour the thick mixture onto the cooled base, smooth out and top with the crushed raspberries. Mix the chocolate glaze ingredients together, melting the coconut oil in a pan if needed and drizzle on top of the cheese cake. Pop in the freezer for 2 hours or the fridge overnight. Serve!

Vegan Recipe: CARROT & BANANA CAKE

Vegan Recipe: CARROT & BANANA CAKE Sugar free and fat free! 

I woke up this morning and fancied making a carrot cake! So I thought I might as well share the recipe with you all. Unfortunately my first attempt failed horribly as I added water to the mixture so make sure you don't add any water, even if you think it's too dry. The carrots release a lot of moisture when cooking so don't worry about that. Here's the delicious recipe that worked!



(Makes 1 cake) 
Ingredients: 
2 ripe bananas 
4 gooey or soaked dates, pitted
1 medium carrot grated 
100g flour (plain wheat, or gf) 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/4 tsp allspice 

First of all preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius. Peel and mash your bananas in a bowl along with the dates. Then mix in the grated carrot. To the flour add the baking powder and allspice, mix and gradually stir into your wet mixture. Once a sticky dough has formed add to a lined rectangular tin and bake for 35 minutes until a knife comes out clean. Serve warm or allow to cool then slice and eat with a warm cup of herbal tea. 

I hope you like the recipe!
