Directions

• 1) Lightly grease bottom of 8 inch cake pan or 9 inch spring form pan and set aside. Soak chopped dates and raisins in hot water for about 5 minutes and raw cashews in hot water for at least 20 minutes (should be swollen and soft).
• 2) Drain dates and raisins and place in food processor. Blend (while periodically scraping sides) until a pasty texture with some chunks (see picture in post). Add almond meal, cocoa powder, vanilla, and sea salt. Blending (with periodic scraping of the sides) until a dough ball forms.
• 3) Flatten dough ball and press onto bottom of greased pan (flattening and spreading until whole pan base is covered). See picture in post. Place in freezer until ready to spread cheesecake mix.
• 4) Drain cashews. Place in food processor and blend until chunky. Add in coconut oil, coconut nectar, and cashew milk and blend until smooth. Add lemon juice, vanilla, coconut palm sugar, and sea salt. Blend until smooth (see picture in post). Transfer to mixing bowl and stir in chocolate chips. Pour on top of chocolate crust and spread with a spatula until smooth. Place covered in freezer for a minimum 3-4 hours. To apply drizzle, melt chocolate and drizzle with teaspoon.
