My attempt at replicating the cheesecake art created by healthy dessert connoisseurs Pana Chocolate. Seriously though, check out their café in Australia if you ever go, it is incredible, but for now their Instagram account should suffice. Anyway my humble version of their colourful and creative puds takes form in this Raw Vegan Peanut Butter Cheesecake. So simple it only requires one piece of equipment, a food processor. Give it a go and thank me later.
Top it with whatever you like, I went for cacao nibs, squares of dark chocolate and golden berries, as well as a little extra filling piped onto the top. But check out the Pana page for more cheesecake topping inspo.

I recommend using a square or rectangular tin if you can, they look nicer. But this Raw Vegan Peanut Butter Cheesecake will taste great no matter how you present it.
