CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Vegetarian Recipe
Raw Cheesecake
Makes one 9-inch pie
Pie crust 1 ¼ cups pitted Medjool dates 1 ½ cups almonds 2 tablespoons shredded coconut ¼ teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of cardamom, nutmeg or allspice
Raw Cheese Filling
3 cups macadamia nuts or cashews - soaked for an hour or longer, rinsed and drained 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 3/4 cup agave nectar or to taste 1/2 cup coconut oil or coconut butter 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Prepare the crust. Place the almonds in a food pro- cessor and process until just ground. Add dates, cin- namon, and cardamom and process until the dates are broken up and the mixture begins to run up the sides of the processor. You may need to add more dates if you are using a variety that is not as moist as the Medjool.
2. Use your hands to press the crust into a 9-inch pie pan. The crust should be approximately ¼ - ½ inch thick.
3. Prepare the filling by processing all of the ingredi- ents in a food processor until just smooth. Pour into the pie crust and place in the freezer until the fill- ing solidifies, approximately 2 hours. Transfer to the refrigerator for an hour before slicing. Top with fresh berries or raspberry coulis, edible flowers, and or shredded coconut.
Variation Top with a layer of chocolate mousse!

Oracle 20/20 April 2010
Some stages of the creative cycle are technical, others sacred, and oft times, quite intuitive. Some days feel like the vibration of spirit drawn down to the physical plane and rests on the canvas.
