How to Make a Raw Vegan Cheese Cake

[eequalsmcdonald]

you are great! my non-raw hubby loved this too!

[Meeyahx]

Nice!

[bridgetbennett02]

im lovin this, i need some of that sweet stuff in my life and a lot of youtube channels with recipes just post smoothies or juices..this is creative!!

[werewasyo]

hi are those soaked cashews raw or roasted? thx

[EvelynPrather]

@werewasyo soaked

[winterparkdoc]

Its not vegan because of the honey.

[Brittanius95]

for the strawberry sauce can you substitute coconut oil

[EvelynPrather]

@Brittanius95 I guess you could, if you desire that or you could leave it off and put fresh strawberries or some other fruit on top.

[navigate83]

Great response to the cake from the hubby!!!!!!

[EvelynPrather]

@navigate83 That's great!

[matthew4892]

i was think this is a great recipe and then instead of cashew, you could use probiotic yogurt but first you use a cheese cloth to further strain the whey so you get a thick cream cheese consistency. so then you have a super healthy cheesecake, but i have to try it with cashew looks so good

[EvelynPrather]

@matthew4892 Thank you for the suggestion. :))

[Douger4u777]

Wow, that looks goodddd!..I will have to try this one!. I like how you did the crust..:)

[EvelynPrather]

@Douger4u777 Thanks! I hope you try it.  ;D

[francisco918]

My girlfriend and I just finished our last slice of the cake we made and it was AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for posting this. For years my girlfriend and I wanted to learn how to make a raw cheesecake and because of you we were able to do it.

[EvelynPrather]

@francisco918 I glad that it worked out for you. :))

[slimjourney]

I can show you how to make love to a cheese cake

[ladycomet72]

I just made this cheesecake and can't wait until I can try it later...this is my first raw vegan birthday and my hubby was worried about a cake!! Thanks to you, problem solved Thank you so much!!:)

[EvelynPrather]

@ladycomet72 Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you enjoyed it and you quite welcome!

[francisco918]

You have inspired me!!!! My girlfriend and I will make it and let you know how it goes.... thank you for the recipe! We especially appreciate your video productions.. it was clear and succinct.

[EvelynPrather]

@francisco918 Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

[allthings509]

unfortunately cashews are not raw

[EvelynPrather]

@allthings509 That's nothing new.

[allthings509]

@EvelynPrather what is not new?

[EvelynPrather]

@allthings509 You said that cashews are not raw. I replied "that's nothing new." That's all. I understand they go through a heating process to remove them from their shells. So technically this isn't a raw dessert and neither is it vegan. Oh well. It is a great alternative if a person doesn't want to eat a cheese cake made with dairy products. Peace.

[DrZuli]

@EvelynPrather Nice job on the crust! Looks great! How is not vegan? I didn't see any animal products in the recipe.

[ZennLa13]

@allthings509 You can buy raw cashews :)

[beyuo08]

Very yummy!!!

[phb420]

Amazing recipe Evelyn !! Thanks so much for sharing, hope to make it soon ! Best regards from Brazil.

[EvelynPrather]

@phb420 My pleasure. Best regards to you too! :)

[SednaCommunications]

[tomasthevegan]

IM GONNA DIE!!! MY WIFE IS GONNA MAKE THIS TODAY!!! YAHOOOOO

[EvelynPrather]

@tomasthevegan I know you will like it! :))

[tomasthevegan]

@EvelynPrather LADY!! YOUR RECIPE WAS AMAZING!!! I ENJOY EATING THIS CHEESE CAKE SO MUCH.... and my wife did it without honey, coz i don't eat honey at all, and still works, and keeps a kind of weird sweet!!! IM REALLY HAPPY!!!

[EvelynPrather]

@tomasthevegan That's great! I don't eat honey any more, so I'm glad it all worked out for you! Take care!  ;)

[Nyasia7]

Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[EvelynPrather]

@Nyasia7 You're quite welcome!

[ehabtouch]

Hi Evelyn I re-sent it, let's see if you can have it this time. If there's a glitch again,thanks fine.

[EvelynPrather]

@ehabtouch Thanks, I got it and it should be attached! ;)

[CEWaltz]

Thank you so much for your tutelage. Rawfood dessert was a whole new learning curve for me, and apart from having to go and buy a food processor which took ages, it was quick and easy and delicious with your help. I'm feeling more excited about staying off sugar with this awesome new way of not cooking!

[EvelynPrather]

@CEWaltz I'm glad it worked out for you. I wish you well on staying off the sugar. Take care!

[ehabtouch]

Mm...wish you were my neighbor next door, not just on youtube, lol.

[AnanyaVilas]

@EvelynPrather Thank u for the super fast reply. Surely need to try this out! :)

[AnanyaVilas]

Awesome tutorial! Do u know if I could use a normal blender for this?

[EvelynPrather]

@AnanyaVilas Thanks! Yes, you should be fine using a regular blender. You don't need a heavy duty blender.

[LBDC05]

You are so awesome!



[angelfiyah]

How much shredded coconut??? U did not say

Thank you

[EvelynPrather]

@angelfiyah I used the meat from 2 coconuts if I recall. Guessing it was 1 1/2 - 2 cups. The coconut is not shredded. It is the coconut meat from the young coconut. So it is fresh kind of jelly-like.

[miracles713]

yum......thanks for showing this. i love cheeseless cheesecake.

[drinabooboo]

Everyone says its good but what does it taste like??

[EvelynPrather]

@drinabooboo Like cheesecake. :)) It has a little tartness because of the lemon juice, but other than that a person could easily think they are eating a dairy based cheesecake.

[SlimByFaith]

Yes, very good, gives me some ideas for a project I'm working on. Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad I found this video. I tell you, you've always got something great up your sleeve. :)

[EvelynPrather]

@SlimByFaith Thanks, sis! 

[Tk2dsky]

Loved this video. You have such a nice presence

[eatingvegan1234]

I have got to make this! Where are you at Evelyn? How is your fast? Miss you woman!

[humanproductions]

ight I am gonna get the ingredients tomorrow will try on wednesday will let you know how I go :D thanks so much - lovely video

[EvelynPrather]

@humanproductions Okay...I hope you try it. :)) Looking forward to your results. Thank you! :)

[dylbat94]

how much coconut did you use?



[EvelynPrather]

@dylbat94 I really don't remember, but I'd guess, the meat off 2 coconut or 1 cup.

[dylbat94]

@EvelynPrather okay :D thankyou alot it was very enjoyable!!!!

[EvelynPrather]

@dylbat94 You're quite welcome.  Glad you enjoyed it! Take care!

[saffrin04]

beautiful raw pie!

[Irene00007]

I like the two colour idea! I'd garnish it with fresh berries to make it look purdy! ;-)

Thanks for posting!

[EvelynPrather]

@Irene00007 Thanks..great idea!

[tamoniva12]

It turned out so good. what were your measurements for each step? I really want to try it.

[EvelynPrather]

@tamoniva12 I thought I had the measurements in the video. I really can't recall the exact measurements, but here goes. 1 cup cashews, 3/4 sweetener, 3/4 cup lemon juice, but really the key is to make sure the cashew mixture is creamy. You also need to do this to your taste, that's why exact measurements are not really all that important. Crust is a basic nut and date crust. 1 cup nuts of your choice with a few dates (depending on the size), process until sticky.

[supnatman]

Nice nice

[EvelynPrather]

@supnatman Thanks!

[EloisaAlanis]

u are adorable!



[EvelynPrather]

@EloisaAlanis Thank you!  ;)

[chunyng78]

It tastes very good.......

in term of the texture, i found the filling bit hard ( after storing it in the freezer overnight) and feel some ice in the filling when chew it.... could it be too much of juice ( i use orange juice) i put in?

seems like end up to be ice cream cake..haha...

[EvelynPrather]

@chunyng78 You should allow it to sit out at room temperature and it should be creamy. Maybe the liquid ratio wasn't quite right. The blended mixture should be very creamy...make sure your batter is creamy and not too stiff. That also makes a difference.

[cherri7]

honey not vegan but cheesecake looks good

[EvelynPrather]

@cherri7 Yes, I am aware that honey is not vegan. Honey is not a big deal for some people. I for one, do not eat honey since making this video. If I were to make this again, I would use agave or some other sweetener.  Take care!

[TheBChicka]

My friend became a vegan about 2 months ago, I'm going to make this cake for her and just surprise her.

Thank you so much for this video :)

[EvelynPrather]

@TheBChicka Cool! I'm sure she will like it. ;) You're welcome!

[BarbyCurtis70]

Hello..I watched your video at a friends house the other day. Today I made your recipe.....it was really good. I did not fuss so much with the crust, so it was not as beautiful as yours, but I did put sliced fresh strawberries on the top before I added the strawberry cream....yes..my non-raw man liked it too!!! Thanks!

[EvelynPrather]

@BarbyCurtis70 That's great! I'm glad you and your non-raw man liked it. :)) Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!

[JenniferValerie]

Pretty easy step by step instructions. Awesome work Evelyn.

[scorpk8]

how much shredded coconut do you use in the crust?

[EvelynPrather]

Yeah, it does, but we know it is so much more healthier and that's a wonderful thing. Thanks for stopping by!

[sexyellex]

[EvelynPrather]

It is! A good friend gifted me the tropical tradition coconut items that you see in the video, so I have yet to order from the company. They have great sales all the time.

[AliKareem59]

The is the second Raw Cheese Cake I have seen this week .. I have got to make me one very soon. I have been snowed in this weekend however I'm going right to whole foods Monday morning. You made that cake look like a work of art. Your husband is a blessed Man. Peace

[EvelynPrather]

I'd love to see how you make yours. Thank you!

[EccentricPuzzle]

Mmmm! That looks delicious. I'd definitely make it if I didn't have my nut allergy :/

[EvelynPrather]

It is delicious. I'm sorry to hear that, but you can always make desserts without using nuts.

Take care!

[berneasebrown]

Hey sis your pie looks YUMMY!! I like how you put the sauce on it to make a second layer. Looks like my brother is on his way to raw foods!!. Many Blessings!!!

[EvelynPrather]

Girl, that brother ain't gonna eat raw. But I'm glad you spoke that. I wish he would, it would make my life a little more easier. LOL...

Take care!

[Mzinterested1]

Looks so good! I'm going to make one too! Thank you for sharing!

[EvelynPrather]

Thanks! Let me know how you like it.

[rawfood4me]

Me and my husband are also on raw foods and we love your raw cheese cake demonstration. We are going out to get the ingredients and make one too. I'll let you know how we got on.

[EvelynPrather]

Thank you!

It is a cool thing when husband and wife are both eating the raw foods way. It makes things a lot easier, but unfortunately, that is not the case for me. :( I'm a loner in this area, but hey, he can't seem to stop raving about this cheese cake. :)

I know you will like it and I look forward to your report/review. :-)
