BOTANIKA BLENDS RECIPES

Ingredients

For the base:
• 1 ½ cups Walnuts (any nut will do the trick)
• ¾ cup Medjool dates, pitted

For the cheesecake filling:
• 1 cup cashews (soaked overnight or at least 6 hours)
• ½ cup coconut cream (scoop the thick bit from a full-fat can)
• 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 scoop (≈30 g) Botanika Blends Strawberries & Cream Plant Protein

For the strawberry swirl:
• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

These creamy, dreamy, strawberry-studded delights are here to treat your taste buds and your inner wellness gremlin.

🍴 How To Make ‘Em

1. Base Layer Vibes:
Blitz walnuts and pitted dates in a food processor until sticky and crumbly. Press into a lined 9x9” baking tin. Set aside.

2. Cheesecake Magic:
Drain your soaked cashews and add to a blender with coconut cream, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and protein powder. Blend until smooth, creamy, and ready to spread gossip.
Pour evenly over the base and pop into the fridge while you make your sauce.

3. Sauce Swirl Situation:
Blend strawberries and maple syrup until smooth. Simmer on the stove for 5-10 mins until thickened and glossy (like your skincare goals).
Pour over the cheesecake layer and swirl with a knife or toothpick for that marbled masterpiece.

4. Chill & Slice:
Let it firm up in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight = chef’s kiss). Slice into cute little squares and serve with smug satisfaction.

✨ BB Tips & Tricks

Want more berry bang? Fold chopped freeze-dried strawberries into the filling.
After ultra creaminess? Add a splash more coconut cream while blending.
Going bougie? Top with coconut whipped cream and fresh berries before serving.

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for that future-you treat stash. 💖
