There are so many delicious baked goods and sweet treats that it becomes difficult for many of us to pick one, but we have just the perfect cheesecake recipe for your tastebuds.
Over 4,000 years ago in the fifth century BC, the ancient Greeks on the island of Samos created the earliest known cheesecake.
Try out this recipe by Sarah Cobacho from _plantbaes_ for the ultimate midweek sweet treat.
What you will need:
The base:
1 cup almond
½ cup coconut flakes
½ cup Medjool dates
Filling:
1.5 cup califiafarmau Vanilla Oat milk
1.5 cup cashews
1 lemon juice
¼ cup maple syrup
1 cup raspberries (thawed if using frozen)
⅓ cup cacao butter
Toppings:
Fresh raspberries
Coconut flakes
Method:
Soak the cashew overnight or for 30 minutes in boiling water
For the crust, add the almonds, coconut flakes and Medjool dates to a high-speed blender or food processor and process until the ingredients hold together when you press them.
Add the mixture to your mould, and press down to create a flat base. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Place the cacao butter nibs into a microwave-friendly dish, and microwave for 20 seconds at a time until melted.
To the blender add the soaked cashews, Califia Vanilla oat milk, lemon juice, maple syrup, and melted cacao butter. Process until perfectly smooth (3 to 5 minutes)
Pour the mixture to fill approximately half of the remaining space in your mould. To achieve perfect layers, place the mould in the freezer and allow to set for an hour before pouring the next layer.
Add the raspberries to your blender and process until smooth.
Pour over the filling.
Place in the freezer for 4 hours until solid.
Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before eating. Garnish with fresh berries, coconut flakes or any of your favourite toppings!
Enjoy!
