Raw Lime Cheesecake made with yummy ingredients like lime, macadamia, vanilla, avocado, cashew and coconut. This slice is dairy free, gluten free, vegan and made easily in your Thermomix or food processor, then set in the fridge…. so easy!
Raw Lime Cheesecake
This is the perfect, no guilt slice to have in your freezer for when you feel like something sweet. Made with a base of nuts making it gluten free. I do recommend soaking the nuts for this recipe, just make sure you don’t soak the cashews for longer than 6 hours, so you will need to be a little bit organised for this recipe.
I love how easy these no bake slices are, perfect for those of us not great at baking. Just blend and freeze! This dessert is loaded with nutrient rich foods, a really great and fun way to get your kids eating healthier.
This is perfect eaten straight from the freezer, just leave out for a few minutes to soften first.

WHERE TO BUY MACADAMIAS?
Did you know macadamias are loaded with protein and calcium. I get all my pantry items from my local store Cape Wholefoods, but they also have an online store.
