This cheese cake is refreshing and delicious. I absolutely
love the flavors of the mango with nut cream in this dessert, it’s amazing! I
first created this recipe about 7 years ago, and have made a several times over
the years. It’s definitely a recipe to refer back to time and time again. Enjoy!
Crust.

2 cups raw almonds
1 cup raw macadamia nuts

dash pink Himalayan salt
3 T orange zest (optional)
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients, except orange zest, in a food
processor and pulse until crumbly and dough-like. Remove from blender and press

Preparation:
Combine all ingredients, except coconut oil and lecithin, in
a high-speed blender, and blend on high until smooth. Add remaining ingredients

least one hour before glazing.
