Here is one of my classic raw cheesecake recipes, based on my New York-style raw cheesecake, with a mixed berry compote. It may seem fancy which is great because it's so easy to make. You just need a high speed blender to get the cheesecake filling smooth and creamy. I use an old refurbished Vitamix, but any high speed blender will work. You can try a food processor if you don't have a high speed blender.
I usually store my raw cheesecakes in the freezer, but this one I prefer softer, so I store it in the refrigerator. Sometimes I make this ahead, freeze it and then thaw it the morning of the day I want to eat it.
The berry compote is also easy to make, and great to have around for all kinds of desserts, breakfasts, or just as a snack. You can use any mix of berries, but my favorite mix is a combination of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Enjoy!

Hi Erica,
What size pan would I use if I were to double
the recipe?
After it’s been refrigerated, how long can it be
on the counter?
Thank you
Briget
Erica says
Hi Bridget. You can use a 7, 8, or 9 inch pan, depending on how tall you want the cake to be. I think I'd opt for an 8-inch but use what you have if you only have one of those sizes. I usually initially freeze it but if it's been in the refrigerator for a while it won't need to sit on the counter too long. If it's been frozen I'd give it at least 10 minutes to make it easy to slice.
Briget Porteus says
Oh ok thank you!
What I meant to say was….how long can it be on the counter while serving?
Will it be ok if it’s on the counter for an hour or two or so?
Erica says
Ah, gotcha. I don't think it would spoil but I wouldn't leave it out more than that.

Hi Erica: Are the raw cashews easier to digest and does soaking in water also help with digestion? I seem to have trouble with cashews.
Erica says
Hi Michael. Yes, soaking nuts make them easier to digest. Processing them in this recipe also helps to digest them.
Madhavi Naik says
Hi Erica , can I substitute Avacado oil for coconut oil in the No Bake Cheese cake recipe?
Erica says
Hi Madhavi, I haven't tried it. The coconut oil is a solid at room temperature so it gives the cake a more solid texture. You could try another oil that a solid at room temperature. Another thought is to use avocado oil and serve the cake frozen. Let me know if you try it!
Erica says
Hi Madhavi. Guess what? I used olive oil and it worked! So yes, you can use avocado oil.
Madhavi Naik says
Thanks ! I will try olive oil
