Lime & saffron vegan ‘cheesecake’

There’s something wonderfully smooth about this ‘cheesecake’, decadent but not heavy, rich in flavour and texture but with a delightful lift of saffron-infused lime… and then there’s the fact that it’s vegan. Soaking the cashews makes the ‘cheese’ all the more digestible. The base layer is made of chickpea (gram) flour, dates and coconut oil with an oomph of cardamom so it’s entirely gluten-free; and there’s no refined sugar in this dessert.
