Prep time
Total time
Author: 
Serves: 8 slices
Ingredients 
1. For the crust (6吋活動圓模)
  • ½ cup raw pecans (胡桃)
  • ½ cup almond flour (杏仁粉)
  • 2 pitted dates (黑棗)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (椰子油)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (肉桂粉)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (細鹽)

2. For the cheesecake
  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked in cold water for at least four hours or preferably overnight (see Notes)
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk, shaken (椰奶)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled (use refined coconut oil if you want no coconut flavor) (椰子油)
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (楓糖)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (檸檬汁)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder (香草精)
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried blueberries (冷凍藍莓)

3. For the blueberry layer
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed, if frozen) (新鮮或冷凍藍莓)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice(檸檬汁)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds(奇亞籽)【奇亞籽的 8 大功效與副作用】

Directions

  1. Grease a 6” springform pan with coconut oil, or line an 6” cake pan with strips of parchment paper for easy removal, and grease well with coconut oil. Set aside. (6 吋活動圓模底部鋪上烤盤紙,周圍可放透明圍邊)
  2. Add the pecans, almond flour, pitted dates, coconut oil, cinnamon and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender and pulverize until it comes together into a sort of sticky dough, with small pecan bits remaining. Don’t over process, or it’ll turn into nut butter! Press the pecan date dough evenly along the bottom of the prepared pan.(把餅底餡料除椰子油外全部放入食物調理機,斷斷續續打至粗粒狀,加入椰子油,用手抓均勻,取出餅底餡放入模具,壓緊實,放入冰箱冷藏)
  3. In the same food processor or high-powered blender (no need to wash between - I used my Vitamix, but most powerful blenders should do the job), combine all of the filling ingredients except for the freeze dried blueberries and blend for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary. You may need to add a bit more coconut milk or lemon juice to get it to blend smoothly if your blender isn’t super high-powered.(使用 Vitamix 以高速攪拌所有餡料,約需 2 分鐘,呈現非常綿密細緻的狀態)
  4. Once it’s smooth, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness/tartness/spice levels, if desired.(調整口味)
  5. Pour ⅔ of the filling into the prepared pan over the pecan crust. Smooth out the top and tap the pan hard against the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Place in the freezer.(取出模具,倒入 2/3 餡料,輕敲出氣泡,放入冷凍)
  6. Add the freeze dried blueberries to the remaining batter and blend to incorporate. Spread over the plain layer. Return to the freezer.(剩下的餡料加入冷凍藍莓,打至綿密狀,取出模具,倒入餡料,再放回冷凍)
  7. Rinse out the blender, and add the fresh blueberries, lemon juice and chia seeds to it. Blend until smooth, and then pour over the other layers.(沖洗攪拌杯,放入第三層的餡料,攪拌至滑順狀,取出模具,倒入餡料,再放入冷凍)
  8. Place in the freezer to set for at least 3 hours or until completely firm before slicing and serving. I recommend running your knife under hot water to warm it up before cutting the cheesecake with the still-hot (dried) knife.(最少冷凍 3 小時)
  9. Serve frozen or let them thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.(回溫 10~15 分鐘再享用)
Notes
You can also cover the cashews in very hot/boiling water and let them sit for about an hour if you want to speed up the process - it won't be quite as creamy, but it will do the trick!




Loofah Glycerin Soap

用之前做的甘油皂基融化後,加入約 5% 的乳油木果脂,皂模內放入裁好的絲瓜絡,倒入融化的皂液即可。


原以為加了酒精的甘油皂會太澀,結果完全相反。
非常適合這種濕熱的天氣!

Honey Glycerin Soap 蜂蜜甘油皂

If honey is added when melting gelled soap, the result of this honey glycerin soap will have darker color (might be because of caramelized). However, the benefits of honey might not have left much. The amount of alcohol used depends on how much will evaporate during heating. When the melting soap becomes syrup-like, you can add another 10% of alcohol in and cover the lid. The cooking time to melt the gelled soap might be up to 2 hours. This youtube is good for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrCGSU3XHhA

Honey added at the end.

My experience is:
  1. Hot process (slow cooker) for cooking the soap batter till gelled (around 1 hour for this small amount)
  2. I'll change to double boiler method. Add glycerin first. 20% of total oil weight. Hot water pan has been heated and the second container is getting hotter. Stir the soap and glycerin. The texture should be like smashed potatoes.
  3. Adding 75% alcohol. The amount of alcohol can be 80% of total oil weight. Stir and cover the lid. It's better to have tight lid which can prevent evaporation. It will take a while to dissolve the soap. If after 30 mins of cooking, there's still some small parts that can't melt, I will add 10% of alcohol and cook till nearly melted or totally melted.
  4. Add sugar (20% of oils) + water (70% of sugar) and honey (5% of oils). If the solution is quite sticky, I will add another 10% of alcohol as well. Stir... sift, add fragrance, pour in mold.


Melting time around 80 mins. Not completely melted. Sift the liquid is my way.

Honey added with glycerin will have darker color.


  1. This recipe is for this amount of oil only, double everything might not work well.
  2. 95% Alcohol, 50% first, then 10%.... till nearly melted
  3. Glycerin 20g
  4. Honey 5g
  5. Suger 28g water 25g

Stamping Lavender Soap



  1. Lavender infused sweet almond oil
  2. Sodium Lactate: 4g
  3. Lavender Essential Oil: 12g
  4. Extra Fat: Chamomile Butter 10g
