The combination of lemon and vanilla just compliment each other so well. Plus this recipe is not only paleo, but it is also safe for those on the SCD diet, GAPS diet and those on a vegan diet. And beyond being dairy free this Paleo Lemon and Vanilla Cheesecake is also gluten and grain free and refined sugar free.
In your food processor (I use this one) combine all the ingredients (except for the shredded coconut) and blend until smooth
Transfer the processed ingredients to a large bowl and stir in the shredded coconut
Transfer the mix to a round cake pan and spread evenly, pressing down so that it's all even
Place the cake pan in the freezer while you move on to the vanilla layer
Place all the ingredients in your food processor (clean it between the two layers)
Blend until smooth
Transfer the ingredients to the cake pan and spread evenly over the lemon layer
If you are adding the shredded coconut for garnish, add that now
Place the cake pan back in the freezer for ~2 hours
Remove from the freezer and cut into desired sized pieces
Serve and enjoy!
NOTE: Instead of making a cake, this dessert can also be made into squares. Simply use a 9"x9" square pan instead of the round cake pan.
