Instructions
Step 1
Before beginning, set all ingredients out on the counter to come to room temperature. This is very important because it ensures a creamy cheesecake.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and put a large pot of water on to boil. When it reaches a boiling point, pour it into a casserole dish or oven safe pot placed on the bottom rack in the oven. This acts as a makeshift water bath and turns the oven into a “steam room”.
Step 3
To make the crust, in a food processor or high-powered blender, add the pecans and cashews and pulse until they’re a coarse meal.
Step 4
Add the coconut oil, coconut or brown sugar and salt, and process until the nuts are fine and the crust is starting to pull together.
Step 5
Press the nutty crust mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Set aside.
Step 6
To make the cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese to a bowl and beat with a standing or hand-held mixer for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Add the sugar and cream together for about 1 minute.
Step 7
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl. Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition.
Step 8
Add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla, and beat until everything is mixed well. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust into the springform pan.
Step 9
Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the oven, leaving the casserole dish with the water in the oven.
