12 servings
For the crust

- 1 ½ cups raw almonds
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- ¼ tsp salt
For the cheesecake filling
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted

- ¼ tsp salt
For the strawberry topping

- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- 1
Place the 2 cups of raw cashews in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for at least 2 hours, then drain and rinse thoroughly. (This is the inactive time — the cashews must be fully softened before blending or the filling will be grainy.)

Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides to use as handles later.
