Marie’s Chocolate Raspberry Cashew Cheesecake

Eating Paleo, or like our Stone-Age ancestors, doesn't mean tearing hunks of meat off a bone. Hit the reset button on your body and eat the diet you were born to eat with this recipe from viewer Marie, who said the Paleo Diet helped turn her health around.

Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight, then drain and rinse.

Place almonds and dates in a food processor and pulse to chop until the ingredients are sticky and crumbly. Press mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom of the springform to make the crust. The crust should be 1/2-inch thick. Chill crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Heat coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan on very low heat and whisk to combine.

Place all filling ingredients except the berries and cacao in a blender and blend on high until very smooth.

Pour 1/2 of this mixture into a separate bowl, and add the berries to the remaining filling and blend on high until smooth. Pour first layer of filling onto the crust, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

Fold the cacao powder into the remaining filling and pour evenly over the berry layer.

Freeze to solidify the filling. To serve, remove from freezer 30 minutes prior to eating. Top with freshberries and/or cacao powder.
