This was a HUGE success!!!! Not only is it EXTREEMLY healthy (even with the 12g fat still healthy fats!), but I probably would have a difficult time knowing this is a raw, unprocessed dessert if I tried it with my eyes closed!
My husband had... Well... 3 of them... In less than 5 minutes =) that means it was good!
Ingredients:
CRUST
-1 cup dates
-1 cup soaked cashews (I soaked for 3-4 hours)
-1 packet (approx 1-2 tbs) instant coffee
-2 tbs water
FILLING
-1 cup soaked cashews
-1/4 tbs organic maple syrup (no sugar added)
-1 packet stevia or similar sweetener
-1 tsp vanilla
-3 tbs cocoa
-1/4 c water
-1/4 c organic virgin coconut oil
CHOCOLATE TOPPING
-2 tbs cocoa
-2 tbs coconut oil
-2 tbs maple syrup
-1/4 tsp vanilla
1. Make crust by blending together dates and cashews in processor. Add in coffee and water. If too watery, add a few more dates or cashews. If too thick, add a little more water until has a super thick paste like consistency.
Keep on blending.. Then press into bottom of 8x8 parchment lined pan.
Place in freezer while you make filling.
In a clean processor, add all ingredients and process....
Keep processing for a while until smooth!
Have a taste.... Mmmmm. If it needs a little more cocoa, or stevia, or vanilla, add whatever you like here!
Spread on top of crust....
Now make the chocolate topping.
Melt all three ingredients in a microwave safe bowl ONLY 15 seconds at a time.... Stir... If it needs more melting, only another 10 seconds or so, or you will pass the point of no return and it might congeal.
Spread randomly in clumps on top of cheesecake layer...
Use a toothpick to make it all swirly and pretty!
Freeze for a few hours (in my case, 2) and enjoy!!!!!
