Healthy cake minis with blueberries

Hardly anyone with a sweet tooth says no to cheesecake – and certainly not with this smart variant! Because the Raw Blueberry Cheesecake contains no industrial sugar, is vegan, and is full of healthy nuts.

The cake base made of almonds and dates is spread with an alternative made of cashew nuts instead of the usual cream cheese cream – also super creamy! Blueberries in the fresh and frozen version provide the beautiful summery purple. Of course, all other seasonal berries can also be used for this raw cheesecake.

And best of all: This recipe is also great for those who don’t like baking because the blueberry cheesecake is “finished” in the icy freezer instead of the hot oven. If guests come spontaneously, you are well prepared.

The Raw Blueberry Cheesecake is so healthy!

With only 42 grams of fat per 100 grams, cashew nuts are among the relatively low-fat nuts. They are rich in vegetable protein and magnesium. The latter makes them the perfect nerve food for vegetarians and vegans.

Blueberries contain plenty of myrtillin, a natural coloring agent that is not only responsible for the deep blue color: it primarily neutralizes free radicals, which play a key role in the development of chronic diseases and premature aging processes. It also promotes the elasticity of the blood vessels and thus has a preventive effect against heart and circulatory diseases.

Make your own raw blueberry cheesecake

The ingredients:

  • 300 g almonds (unpeeled)
  • 200 g dates (pitted)
  • 450 g cashew nuts (soaked overnight)
  • 50 ml agave syrup
  • 150 g coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla pulp
  • 1 lemon (juice)
  • 5 tbsp grated coconut
  • 50 g blueberries (frozen)
  • 50 g blueberries (fresh)

The preparation:

  1. For the base of the Raw Blueberry Cheesecake, place the almonds and dates in a high-speed food processor and blend to form a “crust pastry”. Depending on how sticky the mixture is, add water or plant-based milk.
  2. Place the finished dough base in a freezer-proof form (e.g. 26 x 20 centimeters) and press firmly. Put in the freezer.
  3. Now put the cashew nuts, which have been soaked overnight, together with the agave syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla pulp, and the juice of one lemon in a food processor and mix to a creamy mass.
  4. Halve the cashew mass. Mix one half with 3 tablespoons grated coconut, but the other half back into a food processor, and mix with the frozen blueberries.
  5. Take the dough base out of the freezer and first spread it with the light cashew coconut mixture. Then spread a few fresh blueberries on top and cover with the cashew-blueberry mixture. Garnish with more blueberries as you like or add them to the serving.
  6. Now put the Raw Blueberry Cheesecake in the freezer for about 30 minutes. About 10 minutes before serving, take the blueberry cheesecake out of the freezer and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons grated coconut and remaining blueberries.

Banana Bread or Cheesecake: Which is Better? Both together! Because we just couldn’t decide whether we should devote our DIY to banana bread or cheesecake, we simply combined the two delicious types of cake and the result was: super moist banana bread with a cheesecake topping.

Cake classics combined

Admittedly, this cake variation is not particularly low in calories. But hey: Sometimes you just have to treat yourself to a sweet treat – especially when it tastes as incredibly delicious as this banana bread with a cheesecake topping.

As the name “Banana bread” may already suggest, it is mainly ripe bananas that disappear in the dough. They are particularly sweet and give the cake an extra portion of juiciness. The yellow fruit also provides B vitamins, some vitamin C, lots of potassium, and a good portion of magnesium. Paired with the creamy cream cheese topping, it’s a dream come true!

Banana bread with cheesecake topping

The ingredients for the banana bread:

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 4 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 100 g raw cane sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod (Mark)
  • 180 g wholemeal spelled flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt

Ingredients for the cheesecake topping:

  • 900 g cream cheese (double cream level)
  • 1 vanilla pod (Mark)
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 1 organic lemon (zest)

The preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top/bottom heat. Mash the bananas with a fork. Then add the oil, egg, pulp of a vanilla pod, and sugar and mix together.
  2. Now add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to this banana mass and mix to form a dough.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased springform pan and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Then let it cool down completely.
  4. For the cheesecake topping, mix the cream cheese together with the pulp of a vanilla pod, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until creamy, and place on the banana bread. Place in the fridge for at least three hours
