Instructions
How to Make Healthy Cheesecake Crust
- Add your biscuits, almonds, cereal, dates and protein powder to the bowl of your food processer. Blitz until you achieve a bread-crumb texture.
- Add in the melted chocolate and coconut oil and process for another minute until the texture is sticky.
- Place the ingredients at the bottom of your springform pan and press to form a crust. Make sure to use the sides too as this will make it easier to cut and serve the cheesecake.
- Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
How to Make Vegan Cheesecake Filling
- Add all 'filling' ingredients to the bowl of your food processor and blend very well until you achieve a thick and creamy consistency.
- Place over the previously prepared crust and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Topping
- Place your strawberries in a pan over medium heat. You can add a small amount of water if you want your topping to be more runny and less like a sauce.
- Add in the vanilla and sweetener and cook for around 10 minutes.
- Mash the berries with a fork if you like a chunkier texture, or blend using a hand blender if you prefer a smoother topping.
- Before removing from heat, add in the cornflour and water mixture and mix it well. This will thicken the sauce.
- Chill for a few hours and then pour over completely frozen cheesecake.
- Decorate the cheesecake to your liking and enjoy!
