  • 30 ml coconut oil about 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee

  • Unsweetened dark chocolate for decorating

Method
 

Prep the Base
  1. Soak the pitted dates in boiling water for 15 minutes.
  2. While the dates are soaking, toast the hazelnuts, skin them, and chop them finely.
Make the Base Layer
  1. Blend the soaked dates and chopped hazelnuts together until well combined to form a sticky mixture.
  2. Press this mixture firmly into silicone molds to create the base for your cheesecakes.
Soak the Cashews
  1. Soak the raw cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes.
  2. Once soaked, drain the cashews and blend them with the coconut milk and maple syrup until smooth.
  3. Divide this creamy mixture into two equal portions.
Prepare the Coffee Layer
  1. To one half of the cashew mixture, add the coconut oil and instant coffee.
  2. Blend again until fully incorporated, then pour this coffee layer over the prepared base in the molds.
  3. Place the molds in the freezer to set.
Cherry Twist
  1. Blend the remaining cashew mixture with the frozen cherries until smooth.
  2. Pour this cherry layer over the coffee layer in the molds and return to the freezer until fully set.
Serve Your Cheesecakes
  1. Once set, remove the mini cheesecakes from the molds.
  2. Decorate with shaved dark chocolate and serve with fresh berries for an elegant touch.
  3. Allow them to temper for 10-15 minutes before enjoying for the best texture!

Notes

To serve, garnish each cheesecake with fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries, drizzle with extra maple syrup, or sprinkle crushed hazelnuts for added crunch. Optionally, replace instant coffee with other flavors such as matcha powder or flavored extracts.
