Press remaining crust mixture down into a 9-or 10-inch cheesecake pan. Set aside.
Make No Bake Vegan Cheesecake Filling
Rinse off your blender and add in all filling ingredients except for raspberries and dried figs. Blend on high until smooth.
Pour 3/4 of mixture into the cake pan, leaving the remainder in the blender. Add in raspberries and dried figs. Blend again until smooth.
Pour berry filling over the vanilla filling. Swirl in the mixture using a toothpick. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture around the edges of the cake.
Freeze to set overnight.
