Description

Triple chocolate cheesecake made with dates and nuts that is decedent, rich, and oh so delicious without any cheese or baking. Indulge guilt-free!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 6  Dates, Pitted
  • ½ cups Raw Walnuts
  • 1 Tablespoon Raw Cacao Powder (or Cocoa Powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1-½ cup Raw Cashews, Soaked Overnight
  • ⅓ cups Coconut Oil, Melted
  • ½ cups Warm Water
  • ⅓ cups Maple Syrup (or Agave)
  • ⅓ cups Raw Cacao Powder (or Cocoa Powder)
  • 5  Dates, Pitted
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • Pinch Salt
  • FOR THE DARK CHOCOLATE SWIRL:
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (or Agave)
  • ½ Tablespoons Special Dark Cocoa Powder
  • ½ Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

Preparation

For the crust:
Using a food processor or high-speed blender, pulse all ingredients until just combined. Press dough into a greased 6″ springform pan until entire bottom is coated. If you don’t have a 6″ springform pan (like me), grease a 6″ pie plate and cut out a piece of parchment paper to cover the bottom. Press the dough into the pie pan until bottom is covered.

For the filling:
Drain and rinse cashews. In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour on top of the crust and place in the freezer to set for about 1 hour.

For the dark chocolate swirl:
Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour on the top of the chilled cake in desired pattern. Refrigerate 10 minutes to allow chocolate swirl to set.

Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. That is, if you have any leftovers!

I just finished making this wonderfully decadent “cheesecake”. Can’t wait for it to chill. I tasted each layer as I made it and each was great so I’m sure it will be a very delicious treat tonight. The only change I made was pecans instead of walnuts – I was out of walnuts. Thanks so much for sharing this guilt-free healthy dessert!
