Ingredients

No-bake Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake (Vegan & GF)

Ingredients for the base:

  • 210g hazelnuts
  • 100g dates (pitted & de-stoned)
  • 2 tblsp cacao powder (you can use cocoa)
  • 40g melted raw dark chocolate
  • 1 tblsp coconut oil (melted)
  • Pinch of salt

Ingredients for the mint layer:

  • 200g cashew nuts (soaked)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp mint flavouring
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)

Decoration (optional):

How to make No-bake Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake (Vegan & GF)

1. To make the base: Line a cake tin with grease proof paper. I prefer to use a push up cake tin.

2. In a food processor/blender, add in the hazelnuts, de-stoned/pitted dates, cacao powder, melted dark chocolate, coconut oil and salt. Whizz up on high until like breadcrumbs.

3. Firmly press the mixture into your lined cake tin and place into the freezer.

4. To make the cheesecake layer: Drain the water from the soaked cashew nuts, and place them into a food processor/blender, along with the vanilla extract, mint flavouring, melted coconut oil, fresh spinach and maple syrup. Whizz up on high for around 5-8 minutes until smooth.

5. Once smooth, grate the mint chocolate bar and fold in to the mixture. (optional)

6. Pour the creamy mint layer onto the base, level then pop back into the freezer to set. This will take around 2-4 hours. You can leave it overnight.

7. Once fully set, decorate with melted chocolate. I garnished my cheesecake with some fresh mint leaves, unsweetened desiccated coconut and some yummy Nakd mint nibbles.

To serve, defrost the cheesecake for around an hour until thoroughly defrosted. Slice and enjoy!
