Directions:Line an 8" springform pan with parchment paper; set aside. Prepare the fauxreo crust, following step 2, place in pan and put in the freezer.
To make the filling: Drain the soaked cashews and put them in the blender. Blend until the cashews are somewhat broken down. Add the coconut oil, coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Then add the zucchini, cocoa powder coconut sugar, salt and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Blend again until smooth and a creamy batter is formed. Add 1 tbsp more of lemon juice at a time as needed. The favour should be a little lemony but not overdone. Blend one more time if you add more lemon juice.
Remove crust from freezer and pour the cheesecake filling evenly into it. Place back in the freezer to set at least 4 hours. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer 20 min prior to serving to allow it to thaw. Remove from the pan. If you would like to add garnish, melt chocolate chips in a microwaveable safe bowl. Can sprinkle with cocoa and melted chocolate over the top. Stores in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
