Besides, I <i>wanted <\/i>a special treat that I could enjoy&#8211;and feel good about.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen <i style=\"font-weight: bold;\">so many <\/i>cheesecakes lately on the Instant Pot Facebook groups. Those have definitely been on my mind. But I really wanted to make a raw\u00a0dessert. The adventure began.<\/p>\n<p>As most of my recipes I share here, this is one that both worked well that I and others loved, and also one that my mind is still turning gears for changes I plan to try. Next time I will replace sweeteners with dates, try fresh coconut milk, and experiment for oil free. Those are ways I&#8217;d like to improve this. But as a special treat, this was fantastic as is. Very yummy&#8211;even to those that don&#8217;t eat real foods for health. For those, rather than calling it healthy vegan cheesecake, I named it Reece&#8217;s Cheescake.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-772 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/frommeandmyhouse.com\/gfy\/wp-content\/uploads\/12923149_1031328773608177_6170328626332807444_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><b>Lisa&#8217;s Reece&#8217;s Cheesecake Squares<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Crust:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup Almond Meal<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup Maple Syrup<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup raw Cacao Powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix in a food processor until it is well mixed and holds together when pinched together.
