Ingredients

For the base

1 cup almond flour
1 cup ground coconut
2 heaping tablespoons quality cocoa
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons 100% natural date syrup (silan)

For the cheese layer

4 cups raw cashews (soaked in boiling water at least 30 minutes, rinsed and drained)
4 tablespoons 100% natural maple syrup
1 can 100% natural coconut cream

For the topping

100 g quality dark chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa solids
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1First, soak 4 cups of raw cashews in a bowl of boiling water for at least 30 minutes.
2Mix all the base ingredients into a crumbly mass, spread into a pan lined with baking paper (I used a 24 cm round pan) and set aside.
3Rinse and drain the soaked cashews. Blend in a strong blender with the maple syrup and coconut cream until you get a smooth, cheese-like texture.
4Spread the "cheese" into the pan as a second layer over the crumbly base.
5Melt 100 g of dark chocolate with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and pour it over the "cheese".
6Transfer to the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.

And this time? This time it is a vegan "cheesecake": gluten-free, kosher for Passover, dairy-free, egg-free, very high in protein, and of course vegan. Love your body and treat it to good things. Happy Passover, and enjoy!
