Preheat oven to 350. If you haven’t soaked your cashews this is a good time to do so.
First step is to make the crust. In a large mixing bowl, add your coconut flour, almond flour, cinnamon, and coconut sugar, and stir with a fork until all the clumps are gone and it’s fully mixed.
Now pour your melted coconut oil over your flour and mix with a fork until all the oil has been absorbed by the flour mixture.
Line the bottom of a 9” spring form pan with parchment paper. If you don’t have a spring form pan, you can always use a pie pan. If you do this, just be sure to omit the parchment paper. Add your crust onto the bottom of the pan and flatten it out until you have an even smooth crust on the bottom.
Bake the crust alone at 350 for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.
As the crust is cooking/cooling, it’s time to make the cheesecake filling. Take a large high powered blender, and add your soaked cashews, dairy free cream cheese, lemon juice, plant milk, coconut sugar, and blend on high until you have a perfectly smooth consistency. Set aside until your crust is completely cool.
When your crust is cooled, pour your contents from the blender all over the top. Spread it evenly over the crust until you have a beautiful cheese cake. Use a spatula to smooth out any imperfections.
Cook the cheesecake in the oven for 25 minutes. You’ll know its cooled completely when the center is no longer jiggly.
Once cooled, cover with a lid, and let the cheese cake set in the fridge overnight for best results.
After 4-6 hrs, your cheese cake will be set and ready for the final touches. Grab a small bowl, and mix your coconut sugar and cinnamon together to create your dusting for over the top. Then with your fingers, generously sprinkle your cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
Lastly, grab your agave syrup and drizzle thin lines of syrup over the entire cheesecake. Use 1 tbsp agave for a slight sweetness, or double it for the sweet tooth.
Viola! Enjoy your vegan sopapilla cheesecake at your next dinner night with the fam, or bring to a party for a sweet treat for everyone to talk about!
