Ingredients
| 100 | grams Pistachios |
|---|---|
| 50 | grams Walnuts |
| 50 | grams Desiccated Coconut |
| 250 | grams Pitted Dates |
| 500 | grams Raw Cashews (soaked) |
| 1 | cup Coconut Milk |
| 1⁄4 | cup Coconut Yoghurt |
| 1⁄4 | cup Maple Syrup |
| 400 | grams Dragon Fruit (frozen) |
| 2 | tablespoons Maple Syrup |
| 4 | tablespoons Chia Seeds |
Instructions
| 1. | Preparing the Base |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a food processor, combine pistachios, walnuts, and desiccated coconut. Pulse until they form an even crumb. Add pitted dates and pulse until a sticky dough forms. Press the base mixture into a lined pan and place it in the freezer while you prepare the filling. |
| 3. | Creating the Filling and Chia Jam Topping |
| 4. | Thoroughly rinse the raw cashews and drain them. In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, coconut milk, coconut yoghurt, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture onto the prepared base. Place the cheesecake in the freezer for a few hours to set. |
| 5. | For the Dragon Fruit Jam, thaw the frozen dragon fruit with maple syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Mash the fruit with a spatula, then stir in chia seeds. Transfer the jam to a jar and refrigerate until thickened. |
| 6. | Assembling and Serving |
| 7. | Once the cheesecake has set, spread a generous layer of the Dragon Fruit Jam on top. Return the cheesecake to the freezer for a few hours or overnight. Before serving, allow the dessert to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. |
