Strawberry Cashew Cheezecake with Prebaked Crust

The filling content for this recipe is no-bake, and the crust can easily be replaced with a pre-made crust or another crust recipe.

 

For best results, boil water and pour it over the cashews at least 5-6 hours before making the filling. The longer you let them sit in this hot water, the smoother and creamier the filling will be. The minimum time I prefer to leave the cashews soaking is at least an hour.

Carrot Cake

This recipe is for a single layer carrot cake, but if you use the ‘Adjust Servings,’ it will be automatically modified for as many layers as desired. The instructions are intended for a single layer carrot cake, so adjust those as needed.

You will need a food thermometer that reaches 175-185° to get the right temperature for the flax egg.

Note: Every oven is different, and gluten-free flours differ by brand and mixture. This recipe takes longer to bake than a traditional wheat flour cake. You will know the cake is done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow approximately 10 minutes between checking.
