Settle in with some good TV, food, and words this weekend.
These creamy passionfruit and lime cheesecakes are free from gluten, wheat, dairy, and refined sugar. AND they're vegan. AND AND they're super delicious. In you're in London, you'll have seen prepackaged nutritious treats from the charming local vendor Pollen + Grace on the high street, but here's how to DIY.
For the base:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup brazil nuts
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)
- 100g coconut oil, melted
- pinch of salt
METHOD
1. Blitz all the nuts in a food processor until fine
2. Mix in the desiccated coconut and coconut sugar
3. Rub in the coconut oil in with fingers
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, spread the mixture on the tray and bake for 10-15mins, until golden brown
5. Leave to cool whilst making the filling
For the filling:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups cashews (soaked overnight)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup coconut oil
- juice and zest of 5 limes
- jucie and zest of 5 lemons
* 4 passion fruits
METHOD
1. Melt the cup of coconut oil then add all the ingredients except the passionfruit to a food processor
2. Blitz until smooth
To serve:
These can be made as either individual portions or a larger cheesecake. For pots, use individual ramekins, or for a larger cheesecake, use a loose-sided baking tin. We recommend individual pots for a fuss-free picnic option!
METHOD
1. Evenly add the base to the bottom and press down until firm and even
2. Add the filling to the top and smooth down until even
3. Finally, add the pulp of half a passionfruit to the top of each cheesecake if individual, or over the whole cheesecake if making one large cheesecake.
4. Leave in the fridge to chill and thicken before serving.

Looking to mix up your routine and get out for the day? Why not play a little game of GroupOn roulette? (I know they send emails like crazy, but it can be worth it!) I went into full browse mode knowing I wanted to do something I'd never done before and that I didn't want to spend more than £30 over all. Now, what I wanted was a cooking class, and what I found was an Alpaca Trek (THAT'S RIGHT), which just goes to that an open mind and a good knowledge of your budget can result in a really surprising and wonderful day out.
(Just to brag, the ENTIRE DAY TRIP, with meals, train travel, and the Alpaca experience cost me less that £50, or you know, 3.5 East London cocktails).
If you happen to be based in London, here's some other great excursions you can take on a dime.
