"This cheesecake is so decadent and delicious no one would guess it was made in a freezer as opposed to an oven. The base is a sticky pecan-date crust, the filling a rich and tangy lemon cashew cheese, and the topping is a coffee-flavored caramel. Thaw for 20 minutes and you have the perfectly refreshing dessert...."
