This cake will not only appeal to people who follow a vegetarian diet.

This cake is also a delicious cheesecake alternative for people who can’t eat dairy for various reasons.
How to make cheesecake with cashews and millet?
It is an unbaked cake, although it does require a little patience to prepare. First of all, you need to soak the cashews the day before (or the morning of the day you make the cake). Soft nuts blend easily into a creamy mass. The addition of lemon makes it more like traditional cheese. Thanks to millet, the mass will thicken. It is important that the porridge is well cooked and absorbs the liquid from cooking.
The bottom of the cake is a super healthy and delicious block of dates, almonds, and coconut shavings. Most important for people with food intolerances – it does not contain gluten.
What do you serve with millet cheese cake?
You can try the recipe. Instead of lemon peel, you can add another flavor to it (vanilla, almond oil, orange peel). Part of the mass can be mixed with a little fresh fruit (then it is useful to give more cereal) – for example with strawberries, blueberries or blueberries.
You can decorate the top of the cake in any way you like: arrange fresh fruits on it, pour chocolate, caramel or any other favorite coating on it with a little coconut oil. In the simplest version, decorate the cashew cheesecake with fresh mint leaves or lemon balm leaves.
