I love that recipe for caramelised Macadamias. I like Macadamias....but I would LOVE your recipe for cashew nut cheesecake! Plus "Nice Cream"....if ever you have the time to post them!

I like Cashew nuts very much. And if a cheesecake can be made of them -well -wow!

There are so many! Just like making a normal cheesecake you can choose any flavour combination you like. The filling generally consists of soaked cashews that are then processed so they're smooth and creamy, coconut oil, coconut nectar and whatever flavour you want eg cacao, berry, mint etc etc. A couple that I like;

Also made this one. For the base I used pecans I believe along with the dates and I think it was just too sweet, so perhaps almonds would work better or maybe a little more salt to try and balance it out.
I also used frozen berries at the time, never again. Fresh is the way to go because they won't all be so horribly tart. And unless you really like sour lemon, I'd probably just use one, two was too much.

For nicecream it is generally 4 frozen bananas, 3 or 4 medjool dates and some milk (dairy or non dairy) or coconut cream and again whatever flavouring you like.
I used almost 3 bananas and it made quite a bit of icecream so just play around with it. Some recipes;
