Notes

* CASHEWS: Prepare 1 cup of boiling hot water and place the cashews to soak in the water for 30-60 minutes. As they softened, they will be easier to make smooth for the raspberry cheesecake filling. 

** COCONUT CREAM: The prep work to make these cheesecakes takes a bit more time. Be sure to place your coconut cream overnight in the fridge so you can scrape off just the white dense portion for the cheesecakes.
