Foodie Friday: Vegan persimmon cheesecake

May 28, 2021 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

This mouthwatering dessert recipe was provided by persimmon grower Kate Guthrey and Persimmons Australia. They’re in season now and packed with vitamin A and C, perfect for warding off colds during these cooler months. 

Vegan Persimmon Cheesecake

While some may be disappointed to see temperatures dip, the bright side is that it's officially Australian persimmon season! With its vibrant orange colour and honey-like taste, this deliciously sweet fruit will bring a little brightness to the table this autumn.

Course Dessert
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 450 grams raw cashews
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup very ripe persimmon flesh Original or Sweet
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ⅔ cup coconut oil

Base

  • 310 grams gluten free gingernut biscuits
  • 4 tbsp vegan butter melted
  • 2 tbsp 30g coconut oil melted

Topping

  • 1 very ripe and soft Original persimmon pureed
  • 1-2 firm and crunchy Sweet persimmons sliced

Instructions
 

  • Add cashews to a medium bowl and cover with water by a few centimetres. Cover and allow to soak in the refrigerator overnight. Once soaked, remove cashews from the fridge then rinse and drain.
  • Make the base.
    Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm springform pan. Place the gingernut biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely crushed. Add the butter and coconut oil and process until well combined. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and use a spoon to press the mixture firmly over the base. Place in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the filling.
    Add all filling ingredients to a food processor or large blender. Blitz for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Pour over the prepared gingernut base and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours to set.
  • When you're ready to eat the cheesecake, take it out of the freezer and remove from the springform tin. Allow the cheesecake to thaw for 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Pour over the persimmon puree and garnish with slices of firm Sweet persimmon.

Notes

Once thawed, the cheesecake should be stored in the refrigerator until serving.

Letterbox kinder egg deliveries from a friend, dressing changes without a flinch and refusing to nap despite all the bribes (check the face on him in pic 3!).

Thanks for all your care and messages/comments for this tired and shaken up mama! Now very relieved and grateful 🙏
Before & after It's not just the award winning de Before & after

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love 🤗

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

Oh what a night. Thankfully Hornsby Hospital were as amazing as always and we avoided stitches. All taped and glued  back together and now to keep him calm for the next few days (🤪) and watch for signs of concussion. 

Bravest little patient ever. Yes I've had a 🍷

Funny how we go into super organised mama mode in times like these. Grabbed dinosaurs, textas and scrapbook on the way out in case we had a long wait!

UPDATE: thanks for all the love! Charlie is so well this morning after a big sleep!

The new @studio.xox ONLY sells Australian brands. Like @nood_co coloured basins, lead-free eco brass from @faucetstrommen and @lindseywherrett's  ceramic basins made by hand in Tassie.

And as for their Sydney showroom (they also sell online): WOW.

Do I recommend a timber vanity top? A big fat NOP Do I recommend a timber vanity top?

A big fat NOPE! 💧 

Which is why we have recently covered ours with a Caesarstone top (thanks to @justinplace_sydney for the advice and supply) and the sweet RELIEF of not having to worry about this high traffic area anymore, I'm telling you!🤗

Doesn't matter what they tell you or how many times it's sealed, I'm not sure it's a great idea in a room which is so, well, wet!

I love having the warmth of timber in the bathroom and it's a beautiful piece, but timber on the top? Never again.

Ours probably lasted a year (if that) before it started to go downhill (and we want a good decade out of a bathroom, right?!). 2.5 years on, everything else in this bathroom looks virtually brand new and the water marked vanity top was really letting the side down and making me sad!

But I'm so pleased with this solution, I have to say! Took the plumber less than an hour to remove the sink, install the top and connect the sink back up. We didn't need to move the tap and it isn't too close to the basin.

The kids are allowed to brush their teeth and wash their hands (liquid soap 🥴) in here again and I can leave my hair straightener on there with gay abandon 😆

The reflective surface (which I can clean with whatever I like!💪🏻) brightens the room up too!

Next week I'll tell you what I really think of my brass tile trim too 😉
