Mint Choc Chip Cheesecake

The only way to satisfy a summer sweet tooth – with a Mint Choc Chip Cheesecake of course. Naturally it is raw, vegan, paleo and gluten free so all can enjoy this refreshing dessert, perfect after a summer BBQ. After trying this I loved the choc mint combo so much I made a choc mint smoothie recipe. Usually mint choc chip is quite an artificial flavour like in after eights, but there is only fresh mint in these recipes so it tastes really fragrant and refreshing. If you like this recipe you will love my Raw Lemon Cheesecake.

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 12

Ingredients

For the base:
9 medjool dates
1 cup of almonds
5 tsp of cacao nibs
2 squares of dark chocolate
3 tsp of cacao
For the filling:
200g of cashews
½ a can of coconut milk
½ a cup of coconut oil (solid)
4 tbsp. of agave
2 avocados
1 pack of fresh mint leaves
1 dash of mint extract
1 tsp of wheatgrass powder
1 tsp of matcha
30g of dark chocolate

Instructions

Add your cashews and coconut milk to a bowl and leave to one side for a few hours to soften.
Add all your base ingredients to the food processor and blitz until they start to come together.
Remove and spread into the base of a spring form pan, making sure it is even all over, pop in the freezer to set.
Clean the food processor then add the cashews and coconut milk along with the remaining filling ingredients (making sure to sift the wheatgrass and matcha in) and blitz until VERY smooth, the smoother the mixture, the lighter and creamier your cheesecake will be.
When silky smooth pour over the base and set to one side.
Take your chocolate and with a large knife make shards by cutting finely or dragging the blade over the back of the chocolate.
Mix the majority of the chocolate through the cheesecake then spread flat.
Sprinkle the rest of the shards over the top and pop back into the freezer for 3-4 hours then serve.
