## Equipment

- food processor
- blender
- 6” pan (springform or cake ring with bottom wrapped in foil)

## Tips

- If you can’t eat cashews you can swap out cashews for another nut - macadamia nuts work really well here too.
- If this isn't for a big get together, slice it up and refreeze it as slices so you can easily defrost a single slice.
- You can swirl in some curd into the filling if you like.
- Transfer cheesecake to fridge several hours to thaw before serving, or let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
