VANILLA AND CHOCOLATE CHUNK PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Serves 8 – GF SF VG P RAW – over night to set

Crust:

1 cup oats or almonds

1 cup dates

Cheesecake:

2 bananas (use 3 if small)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

2 cups cashews

1 1/2 cups dates pitted

1/4 cup liquid sweetener, like maple or rice malt syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

The following 3 ingredients are to be added to one half of the cheesecake mixture only

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/4 cup peanut butter

1 tsp sea salt

Topping:

3 tablespoons raw chocolate (see below)

3 tablespoons peanut butter to drizzle

To make the crust: process the oats (or buckwheat) and dates until they stick together. Press into the bottom of a spring form pan and put in the fridge.

To make the cheesecake: blend all ingredients – EXCEPT cacao, peanut butter and salt – until very smooth. Add as little water as possible to keep your cheesecake creamy. If you don’t want to add any water, use some liquid sweetener or another banana. Now take out half the batter and put in a bowl. Add the cacao, pb and salt in the remaining batter that is still in your blender and blend until it’s incorporated. Now spread the vanilla layer and the chocolate layers on your crust, alternating a few times. Set in the freezer overnight and then drizzle with peanut butter and chocolate the next day. Enjoy!

To make the raw chocolate: mix the following together.

3TBS coconut nectar or maple syrup

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/4 cup coconut oil
