Beetroot & Raspberry Cheesecake ꓲ Vegan, Gluten-Free & Raw

November 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

This post is also available in: enEnglish frFrançais

It’s been a while since the last recipe I wrote and it feels great to be back and share with you this creamy Beetroot & Raspberry Cheesecake. Made with dairy-free ingredients, it is also gluten-free, refined sugar-free and raw, to keep all the nutrients.

What I like the most about cheesecakes is that you can play with so many different flavors, which I have done in various recipes such as this peanut butter cheesecake, my caramelized banana & Speculoos cheesecake or this super creamy beetroot cheesecake. There is one for everyone 😊.

Beetroot benefits

The culinary usages of beetroot are numerous and its benefits too.

Beetroots are filled with vitamins and minerals such as zinc, calcium (which is important for bones health), magnesium (contributing to your mental well-being), phosphor, zinc, potassium and copper.

I use some beetroot powder in this recipe so that we get a creamy and silky filling. I also use some raspberry powder because as I am writing we are in November and this is not a month to consume fresh raspberries. If you fancy having raspberries in winter, I would recommend you to buy frozen ones so that they keep as much of their nutrients.

Beetroot & Raspberry Cheesecake

Do you know what’s the secret to the creaminess of this Beetroot & Raspberry Cheesecake ?

Well there are many 😊 and one of them is that you need to have a good blender! I am not asking you to buy a Vitamix (I still dream of the day I will get mine), but one that will be powerful enough to get you a silky filling. Blend the cashews and all other ingredients that compose the filling until smooth, and make sure you don’t have any lumps of cashews left or a grainy texture. This is also the reason why I ask that you leave the cashews to soak in water at least 2 hours beforehand.

For the base :

This cheesecake is raw, but if you are like me and can’t resist the taste of toasted almonds (or any toasted nuts for that matter!) then don’t hesitate one second and roast them for a few minutes! This will enhance the flavors and create a sandy texture that I just LOVE. Skip this step if you want to make a raw cheesecake.

As a word of caution: let the almonds cool down a little (10 minutes) before mixing, or else you will end up with a nut butter.

I have divided this Beetroot & Raspberries Cheesecake into some muffin tins but feel free to make a large one. Both options are great!

Decorate with some leftover almond mix from the base, and some beetroot and raspberry filling by putting it into a piping bag (see picture) to create an icing.

Yield: 10 mini cheesecake or 1 large cheesecake
