Raw Mango Turmeric Cheesecake

Raw Mango Turmeric Cheesecake

Share

Mangoes are not in season anymore but I was craving a summer dessert the other day so I used frozen mangoes, if you can, use 1 fresh mango. This recipe was inspired from my recent trip to Ubud and the many raw cakes I had there. I added turmeric to make the colour pop a little more and also to add health benefits to this raw cake. You cannot taste the turmeric but it makes it nice and yellow!

Ingredients:

Crust:
  • – 1 1/2 cup of raw almonds;
  • – 1/2 cup of shredded coconut;
  • – 1 tsp vanilla powder or paste;

  • – 1 tsp vanilla paste;
  • – 1 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder;
  • – Pinch of salt;
