Method
For the base
Assemble all ingredients for the base
Add the pitted dates, cashews, orange zest, spirulina and coconut oil into a blender. Blend everything for about 30 seconds until everything comes together.
Transfer this base into a bowl. (You can refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up, it makes it easier to roll out for the base)
Roll the base mix in between 2 pieces of parchment with a rolling pin into a nice round shape large enough to line your cheesecake tin.
For the cheesecake mix
Assemble all ingredients. Make sure everything is nice and chilled.
Add the soaked cashews, milk, sweetener, cacao, cinnamon, orange zest, cinnamon, salt and ground chia seeds to blender.
Blitz until super smooth. Move the mix around well with the attachment or scrape down the sides regularly with a spatula.
Add the room temperature coconut in slowly while the blender is running, until it's all incorporated and luxuriously smooth.
I like to spatula all the mix into a bowl and check the seasoning and consistency before pouring onto the frozen base.
Add a little lime or sweetener if you think it needs it at this stage. Give a whisk before pouring onto the base.
Pour the cheesecake mix onto the frozen base, flatten it down by tapping on a work surface.
The mix is now ready to add to the freezer to set. Good job. Time to clean the dishes!
To garnish the cheesecake
This is where you can get creative. Use some seasonal fruits, chopped nut and a sprinkle of seeds.
