Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup dates
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
Supporting Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 chocolate bar for drizzling
Garnish:
- Optional sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Soften dates by immersing in hot water for 15 minutes if they are not already tender.
- Pulse almonds in food processor until they resemble coarse flour, then add dates and process until a cohesive, sticky dough forms.
- Distribute the crust mixture into a lined cupcake tin, firmly pressing it into the bottom of each cavity.
- Blend all base filling ingredients in food processor until completely smooth, ensuring to scrape down the sides during mixing, excluding cacao powder and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
- Evenly distribute half of the white filling across the prepared crusts.
- Incorporate cacao powder and remaining maple syrup into the remaining filling, processing until well combined, then layer over the white filling.
- Gently melt chocolate bar and delicately drizzle over the chocolate brownie layer.
- Place in freezer for minimum 2 hours to set. Allow 10-15 minutes thawing time before serving to achieve optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure dates are pliable by soaking in hot water if they seem dry, helping create a smoother, more cohesive crust.
- Process almonds until they resemble a coarse flour to achieve the perfect crumbly base without large chunks.
- Scrape down processor sides while blending to guarantee a silky-smooth cheesecake texture without lumps.
- Let melted chocolate cool slightly before drizzling to prevent immediate hardening and create beautiful patterns.
