For the Cheesecake
ADD cashews, coconut milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a high speed blender. Blend until perfectly smooth.
RESERVE 2 cups of filling (at room temperature - do not place in the fridge for it will be harder to pour).
ADD strawberries to the remaining cheesecake filling. Process until smooth.
POUR the strawberry filling onto the crust and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
POUR slowly the white layer on top of the strawberry layer. Spread it evenly.
TOP with blueberries. Transfer in the freezer to set completely (overnight preferably).
LET thaw for 20-30 minutes before removing from the pan and cutting into slices.
