Method
1.Heat oven to 180°C. Line and grease a 23cm-deep tart or springform tin.
2.Mix all of the base ingredients together and press into your prepared tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm. Cool.
3.While the base cooks, make the filling by blending all of the filling ingredients together in a high-speed blender. Process for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4.Pour the mixture into the cake tin and chill until set – about 2-3 hours.
5.For the topping, bring the raspberries, water and syrup to a simmer in a small pot. Mash the raspberries and add chia seeds. Leave to thicken and cool.
6.Spoon the berry topping over your set cheesecake, still in the tin. Chill for a further hour.
7.To serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin, place on a serving plate and pile on an assortment of fresh berries and mint leaves.
Cashew nut butter is available in supermarkets (try the spreads or organic sections), but making your own is easy. Soak 1 cup of raw, unsalted cashews in water overnight, drain well, then process in a blender or food processor with ¼ -1/2 cup of water until creamy and paste-like. You’ll need a high-speed blender to get a super-smooth texture.
