That is wonderful Mickey! So happy that everyone enjoyed the cheesecake and that your boyfriend isn’t too scared anymore with the idea of eating more raw foods. You choose well to win his heart. hehe Happy New Year! amie sue

Hello Amie-Sue.
This cheesecake is absolute goodness, I made it on the Christmas eve and it was gone right away.
Thank you for this website I use it everytime since I started to eat raw food.
My boyfriend was kind of scared when we turned out to raw food but when I made him this cheesecake he is not afraid any more. :-)

I have been following you for a while now Amie Sue and honestly your recipes and your presentation is one of the absolute BEST out there. I can’t tell you how much you inspire me. I just made this recipe for a friend and I took photos along the way. I will send you a photo of the final version on FB if you like.

Always a fan. Karen

Ruta,
You can order liquid lecithin which is now what I use because it is soy free coming from sunflowers. I have a small post written about this…

Hi,
just wanted to ask, can I use something instead of lecithin?i I tried to find it on ebay and found softgels only… (would prefer liquid lecithin then granules).
Many Thanks!

OH dear, it melted? I haven’t experienced that before, but then when I make these, they get eaten up so quick. I made a note in the recipe to keep it chilled at all times. I am sorry that you experienced that. Have a great weekend, amie sue

Ok, maybe I am a dummy but I did read where it said to freeze this for 2 hours to set. I did, but I didn;t know it was supposed to be kept frozen after:(

But all is good…..although it looks nothing like it did at first since it melted lol.

Good news is that it tastes wonderful!!!!!

I posted a picture of it on Facebook when I first made it and got so many likes and comments:)

Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Greetings Desiree,

These cheesecakes are amazingly smooth! My husband and I are all about mouth feel and texture if very high on our priority list. To be honest, I haven’t used agar agar in my cheesecake or ghee, so I can’t comment for sure how they would work. It would be an experiment for sure. But then, that is how we learn. :) I will say though that I don’t think, no would I suggest using ghee instead of cacao butter. Let me explain why… cacao butter lends a chocolate flavor profile (ghee doesn’t), cacao butter help to make the cheesecake a nice firm texture (I don’t think ghee would). I can maybe see your wheels turning, soften the ghee, add cacao powder and then using agar agar as the firm agent… all I can say is try it if you really want to test things out. Keep me posted! amie sue

Your cheesecakes look so amazingly rich, like the traditional dairy ones. I’ve made nut-based cheesecakes before, but the texture is not very similar to the real deal. So I’m anxious to try yours since the ingredient list looks to include more “creamier” resulting items.

Do you know if I could substitute agar agar powder for the lecithin? And substitute ghee for the cacao butter?

I am new to your site and loving it!

I am not much of a decorator… so I spooned some rows of caramel and chocolate on there. Not a piece of art, but the cake in itself sure is! :)

Awesome Mikaela! How did you decorate it? I love this recipe as well. Thank you sharing. :) amie sue

I made this recipe for my husband’s birthday yesterday. And it turned out fantastic. First time I had a raw cheesecake turn out with such a cheesecake texture. Awesome recipe!

Hi Megan, it may look delicious and I may assure you that it TASTES delicious. hehe This isn’t the Turtle Cheesecake from Sweet Gratitude but that recipe looks amazing as well! It is a mix and match of recipes and creations. I love ALL of their recipes. :)
As far as the chocolate garnish goes, I make them from a raw chocolate that hardens. You can find a recipe here: http://nouveauraw.com/frosting/hardening-chocolate/. I drizzle the chocolate on a parchment lined cookie sheet in any desired shape, then pop it in the freezer for at least 10-20 minutes so it can firm up. Gently pull the design off the pan and place on your dessert. Have a wonderful day!

This look delicious! I have the Sweet Gratitude dessert book–is this their turtle cheesecake recipe? And one more thing–how did you make the chocolate garnish on the top that stands up by itself? The whole thing looks amazing! :)

Hi Heather!

You can use either. If you use the granules try to buy non GMO ones, you will also want to grind them to a powder. If you use the liquid, which I have switched to, I use sunflower lecithin. Regular lecithin is soy based and I am not suppose to consume soy. They work the same, and don’t effect the flavor in my opinion and experience. Have a great evening! amie sue

Hey Amie,

It’s Heather again. :) On this recipe is it liquid lecithin or granules? Does one taste/work better? Thanks again!! :)
