Ingredients

Brownie base

  • 1 x 400 ml (13.5 fl.oz) tin of coconut milk, cream only
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup dates
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Strawberry cheesecake

  • 1 1/2 cups cashews
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • 1 x 400 ml (13.5 fl.oz) tin of coconut milk, cream only
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups strawberries

Method

  • Leave the tins of coconut milk in the fridge to cool for a few hours. This will separate the water from the cream. Note: It’s important you use good quality coconut milk, otherwise the milk and cream might not separate.
  • Line a 7” x 7” baking tin with greaseproof paper.
  • Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, leave the cashews to soak in hot water in a separate bowl.
  • Blend the almonds until fine and add the almond flour to a mixing bowl.
  • Next, drain the dates and blend them with 2 tbsp of the maple syrup to make a smooth paste.
  • Transfer the paste to the mixing bowl with the almond flour and combine with the cocoa powder and the cream taken from a tin of coconut milk.
  • Once well combined, pour the mixture into the baking tin. Use a spatula to level the mixture, then refrigerate the base until the cheesecake mix is ready.
  • To make the strawberry cheesecake layer, drain the cashews and place in a blender.
  • Add all the remaining cheesecake ingredients to the blender, including 1 cup of the strawberries, and blend until smooth.
  • Remove the base from the refrigerator and pour the strawberry cheesecake layer over the brownie base. Gently tap the baking tin to level the cheesecake layer.
  • Cut the remaining strawberries into slices roughly half a cm thick and arrange on top of the cheesecake for decoration.
  • Place the baking tin in a freezer for two hours, then serve immediately.
