Instructions

Line a 9x5 loaf pan with two flaps of parchment paper. Set aside.
For crust: add dates and walnuts to a high speed food processor and blend until a dough texture forms. Press crust in an even layer into the bottom of the pan.
For cheesecake batter: add all ingredients except blueberries to your blender or electric mixer. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Pour ⅔ of your cheesecake layer over your crust. Then set in the freezer.
For blueberry mixture: Blend remaining ⅓ of your cheesecake with frozen blueberries until combined. Pour over your plain layer.
Place the entire pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours until cheesecake is set. Then slice into squares and enjoy!

Substitutions

Walnuts - If you don't have walnuts on hand, you can use macadamias or hazelnuts instead
Unrefined coconut oil - you can also use refined coconut oil, but it will bring a slight coconut flavor to this recipe.
Soft medjool dates - if your dates are not already soft, soak in hot water for 10 minutes. Then drain and pat dry before processing.

Variations

Fresh lemon juice - feel free to add 1-2tbsp fresh lemon juice or lemon zest for a subtle lemon flavor.
Replace frozen blueberries with a different fruit to change the flavor. I love adjusting with frozen strawberries to create a delicious no bake strawberry cheesecake
Add in some shredded coconut to the crust for added sweetness and a coconut flavor
Make a homemade blueberry sauce to add on top of the cheesecake.

Equipment

Food Processor
High Speed Blender

How To Store Your No Bake Cheesecake

To store your no-bake cheesecake, transfer it to an airtight container. Then store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. If storing in the freezer, be sure to let thaw at room temperature about 15 minutes before eating.

3 Top Tips For Success

For best results, use full-fat coconut milk. This is a key ingredient in creating the signature creamy filling we all know and love.
Let the cheesecake chill in the freezer for 2 hours - overnight before slicing. This gives the cheesecake enough time to firm up and set before splitting into individual portions.
If you're finding the cheesecake difficult to slice, dip your knife into hot water before cutting into individual slices. This makes it easier to cut through the cheesecake and slice into squares.
