Why is my cheesecake mix grainy
I was making a cheesecake which uses sunflower seeds as a replacement for cashews, maple syrup, vanilla coconut yoghurt, salt, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. i first used a hand mixer then moved onto a blender which may have been the problem. Also, im nervous that it wont set in time, so should i include gelatine?

Agree with you about the sunflower seeds as cause of graininess (and see no way to eliminate it; they will not break down completely).
Also not a big fan of gelatin in cheesecakes, or no bake ones (except maybe some ricotta-based, which are never intended to come together as much as cream-cheese ones).
I'm not so worried about the cashews...any nut which can become a nut butter could be used, or even start the cake with a smooth nut butter so you don't have to use your mixer or processor for that step.
