Description

Directions

• Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until sticky crumbles form. Add a splash of water if it needs help coming together.
• Press into a parchment-lined 7 spring form pan (bottom only, not up the sides)
• The night before, place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. The next day, drain and rinse.
• Blend cashews in a food processor. Then add remaining base ingredients and blend again, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust.
• Pour roughly 2/3 of the cheesecake mixture into 2 separate bowls (1/3 in each)
• In the food processor, add cacao and sweetener to taste and blend thoroughly.
• Pour over crust and place in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden.
• Rinse your food processor and add in 1 bowl of cheesecake base and 1 cup of strawberries and blend.
• Pour over chocolate layer carefully so not to disturb the chocolate.
• *Important: freeze again for a minimum of 30-40 minutes to harden.
• After it has solidified, pour vanilla layer on top very slowly and carefully so the layers stay intact. (It helps to pour from around the edge first. I didnt wait long enough plus I poured it in the middle and it sunk a little through the strawberry layer. Still tastes great though)
• Smooth it out and place back in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Heat the coconut milk to simmering and pour over chocolate.
• Let it set for 3 minutes to melt, then whisk smooth.
• Spread over the vanilla layer and set in the fridge to let the chocolate harden.
• When cheesecake and chocolate have both solidified, its ready to eat!
