In a bowl, mix together the crust ingredients well. Pour the crust mixture into a parchment paper lined 6-7 inch round cheesecake spring pan. Pat down the crust mixture evenly using a small glass jar.
In a food processor, add the freeze-dried strawberries and blend until a strawberry powder forms and then set aside. In a high-powered blender, add the cashews, cream cheese, coconut cream, freeze dried strawberry powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and lemon juice.
Blend on low for 30 seconds, then blend on high for around 2 minutes or until a creamy smooth consistency forms. Pour the strawberry cheesecake filling over the chocolate crust and then place the pan in the freezer. Freeze for 3 hours.
Take the cheesecake out of the freezer and carefully unlock the spring pan to get the cheesecake out. Place the cheesecake in the fridge for a couple hours to thaw.
In a bowl, beat together the frosting ingredients together using a hand mixer until a thick fluffy consistency forms.
When ready to serve the cheesecake, drizzle some melted chocolate over top and pipe the chocolate frosting around the edges.
Add some fresh strawberries on top and enjoy!
