Daylight savings is my favourite time of year.
For those of us on the east coast lucky enough to experience it - daylight savings usually means long evenings spent outdoors with good friends, basking in the fading sunlight, excited for the summer adventures to come.
Pot luck dinners and BBQ catch-ups are everywhere, full of fresh foods and clean flavours.
If you ask me, our Recipe of the Month for October embodies that summer feeling perfectly - A Raw Lemon & Chai Latte Cheesecake from our wonderful ambassador - Britt from Nourish Fearlessly.
Britt is an amazing creative, developing countless mouth-watering and nourishing recipes on her Instagram at '@nourish_fearlessly' - do yourself a favour and check out her profile for endless inspiration!

The Recipe: Raw Lemon & Chai Latte Cheesecake
Simple, zesty & incredibly delicious - this a great one to keep in the freezer or blow minds at your next dinner party!
The Base:
- 1/4 cup almondsÂ
- 1/4 cup cashewsÂ
- 1/4 cup desicatted coconutÂ
- 5 large medjool datesÂ
- 1 tsp the bircher bar chai latte blendÂ
- 1 tsp vanilla extractÂ
- 1-2 tsp of water as needed to bindÂ
Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until it forms a crumble, add small bits of water (as listed in the ingredients) to allow mixture to bind more easily.
Note: * only use a little bit of water as it is meant to be somewhat crumbly and will become firm in the freezer. Place into a slice tin and into the freezer.Â
The Top:
- 1 cup of cashews (soaked in boiling water for 1 hour).Â
- 1/4 cup of pure maple syrupÂ
- 3 tbsp of coconut oil (melted)
- The juice of 1/2 a fresh lemonÂ
- zest of 1 lemonÂ
Blend the cashews on high speed in your blender. Add the maple syrup and blend. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until well-combined.Â
Finally, add the top to the base mixture and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
That's a wrap! An easy, natural and delicious summer treat đ
