What you need
Base
1 cup almonds
1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup medjool dates
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
Cheesecake Filling
2 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 4-6 hours
300ml coconut cream
1 cup maple syrup
2/3 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup melted coconut butter
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup blueberries
2-3 tbsp Acai powder
4 scoops Qt
Bellē powder
Instructions
- Make the base by pulsing the almonds and coconut in a food processor until a crumb forms. Add dates, coconut oil, vanilla and salt and process until it clumps together into a dough. Press & flatten evenly into a lined loaf or brownie tin, and then set aside.
- Make the cheesecake filling by draining the cashews and then blending with coconut cream, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, coconut butter, vanilla & salt for a few minutes in a high speed blender until silky smooth. Pour half of this mixture on top of the base and freeze.
- Whilst the first half is freezing, blend the remaining cheesecake mixture with the blueberries, Acai powder and Bellē powder. Blend until smooth, set aside.
- Once the first layer is firm to the touch pour the remaining cheesecake on top. Freeze the whole slice for 4-6 hours until firm enough to slice. Slice with a sharp knife.
Enjoy cheesecake immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Any left-over slices can be refrozen in a sealed container for up to 1 month.
Tip: Save a little bit of the white cheesecake layer in a small zip lock bag and refrigerate. When cheesecake is sliced, snip a small hole in the corner of the ziplock bag and pipe the filling on top for a fancy finishing touch.
