Happy Fathers Day Cheesecake: Cheesecake Heaven

Today finally I got to do the recipe for a cheesecake that I created in my head a few weeks ago. I am very pleased that it worked out so well and the consistency and sweetness was just right. It is my Happy Fathers Day Cheesecake, enjoy!

It is a raw inspired cake, hence so flour, no eggs, no sugar...and also no baking!

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Soaking time: 30 minutes
Freezer time: 30 minutes
Cooking/baking time: 0 minutes

Ingredients:
Crust
1c walnuts, soaked for about 30 minutes
0.5c almonds, soaked overnight
12 dates (I soaked mine as they were a little hard), you can use rasins, prunes, or figs instead
1t lemon juice
0.5t vanilla powder
1t cinnamon
0.5t nutmeg

Cheesecake
500g pressed cottage cheese or quark
0.25-0.5c macadania nuts
2 bananas

Topping
1c raspberries
4 dates

1. Prepare crust by processing all crust ingredients together until they blend well together. The consistency should be very dense and sticky.
Press them with your hands to the tart pan (I use tart pan with removable bottom).
2. Blend all cheesecake ingredients together until very smooth. The consistency should be fairly dense.
Spoon the cheesecake to the tart pan and arrange it nicely.
3. Place the cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
4. Prepare the topping by blending raspberries (reserving some whole ones for decoration) with dates. Blend it to the desired consistency.
5. Put the topping on the cake once it is removed from the freezer or you can top each portion as they are being cut out. The cake needs to be kept in the fridge.
6. Enjoy!
