Raw Santa Hat Cheesecakes

Raw Santa Hat Cheesecakes

How good do these raw santa hat cheesecakes look? We’re really pleased with this recipe. It’s sweet, creamy, nutty and they just totally look the part.

If you can’t find coconut cream, simply buy a tin of coconut milk and leave it in the fridge to set. But make sure you buy a good quality tin of coconut milk with a high fat content, otherwise the water might not separate from the cream when it refrigerates.

When you open the tins, you should be left with the sweet, creamy coconut at the top.

Servings 18 hats

Ingredients

For the base

  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup hazlenuts
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 10 dates, pitted

For the cheesecake

  • 2 cups cashews, soaked
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp cocoa butter
  • 1/2 cup soya milk
  • 1/4 cup golden syrup

For the decoration

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 18 strawberries, stems removed

Method

  • Soak the cashews in hot water for 1 hour.
  • Place the base ingredients into a blender and blend until the mixture is a soft consistency and no large pieces remain. You may have to stop the blender and scrape the ingredients from the sides, then blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Set the base mix aside and rinse out the blender. Place cheesecake ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.
  • Grease a loaf tin with coconut or olive oil, then line all four sides with parchment paper.
  • Pour the base mixture into the loaf tin and level the mixture using the back of a spoon. Then pour the cheesecake mixture over the base and tap the tin for an even top layer.
  • Place the loaf tin in the freezer for 2 hours.
  • Remove the loaf tin from freezer, turn out the cheesecake and cut it into roughly 18 even squares (depending on the size and shape of your loaf tin).
  • Whip the coconut cream until light and fluffy, and pipe or spoon a little onto each cheesecake. Then top each cheesecake with a strawberry.

Hi! Wondering where you buy your cocoa butter. I have called/visited numerous grocery stores and none of them seem to have it…would love to try this recipe!

Hey Cherise, I buy it from independent organic food stores. Where are you based? Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

I am unable to locate edible cocoa butter. What would be a suitable vegan alternative? Thx!

Hi ! I didn’t find cocoa butter so I tried your solution, thanks 😉
Did you keep it in the fridge or in the freezer between the time it was made and the time you ate it ?

Roxy January 18, 2017 - 12:39 pm

We kept ours in the fridge but you could also keep them in the freezer without the strawberry on and remove them 15 minutes before serving. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Can you store it in the fridge? Will it melt at room temperature? How long can you keep it at room temperature?

Olivia January 10, 2017 - 5:22 pm

I also would like to know if you can keep it in the fridge because i would like to make it tonight for tomorrow night. Thanks 🙂

Roxy February 22, 2017 - 4:08 pm

Hi Val and Olivia, yes you can keep these in the fridge for 1-2 days. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Hi,
I don’t use vegan maragarine… can I use only coconut oil instead?

Reply
Roxy June 5, 2017 - 10:34 pm

Hi Linoya, we havent tried with coconut oil but it should work OK. Let us know how it goes. All the best, Roxy (So Vegan)

What can I use instead of golden syrup? It’s. It my favourite ingredient. Would it work with honey or maple syrup or agave nectar?

Hi Helen, we haven’t tried it replacing the golden syrup but it should work the same. Let us know how it goes. Best, Roxy
