Ingredients:

  • For the crust:
  • - 1 cup almonds
  • - 1 cup dates, pitted
  • - 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • - Pinch of sea salt
  • For the filling:
  • - 2 cups raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • - 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • - 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • - 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • - 2 vanilla beans, seeds scraped out
  • - Juice of 1 lemon
  • - Pinch of sea salt
  • For the chocolate ganache:
  • - 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • - 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a food processor, pulse almonds, dates, coconut oil, and salt to form sticky crumbs for the crust

Line a cake pan with the crust mixture, press it into the bottom, and set it aside

Process the soaked cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla seeds, lemon juice, and salt in a blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy for the filling

Evenly distribute the filling after pouring it over the crust

The cheesecake should be refrigerated for a minimum of four hours or until it solidifies

In the meantime, warm up the coconut cream in a saucepan without bringing it to a boil in order to make the chocolate ganache

Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips, maple syrup, and vanilla extract

Give the ganache a little time to cool

After the cheesecake cools, cover the top with the ganache and spread it evenly

To solidify the ganache, put the cheesecake back in the freezer for an additional hour

Allow the cheesecake to thaw for a few minutes before serving
